The casual computer experience on Apple is absolutely unbeatable. It's not even close. I can't stand to do anything even remotely technical on these machines though.
I spend about 50/50 time on windows and apple these days. Windows for work/building & MacOS/iOS for entertainment, personal notes, kitchen internet appliance, socializing, HN, etc. I actually don't like to use HN on my windows PC (on iPhone right now).
I like the mental separation between the two. I can feel my blood pressure drop when I move from my sweaty nerd workstation to my MacBook or iPhone.
- philistine 2y agoYou’ve made that distinction yourself. There’s nothing inherently impossible on macOS that you can only do on Windows. They’re just different.
- theshackleford 2y agoIt’s always interesting to know other people’s method of separation. Im the complete opposite, but for the same reasons. Windows is a toy for me, its not a tool I’d ever willing use for productivity or business, that’s left to OSX, Linux etc. It just helps to not cross the streams, which when your job is computing and your hobbies involve computing helps, or at least I feel it does. I can’t use a nix os without it feeling like my day job. Ironically when I worked in PC repair, it was the other way around, I couldn’t bare to look at windows when I got home.
