Absolutely not your nostalgia talking.
I’m as OS agnostic as they come and Win2k was the last true great desktop OS.
I now use FreeBSD almost exclusively, with miscellaneous VM guests.
- bbkane 2y agoI actually REALLY LIKE MacOS, especially workspace/window management when using Rectangles. So much so that I'm trying to recreate it on Linux (I don't want to buy a new Mac when I have a perfectly good gaming desktop to repurpose for dev work).
- Gud 2y agoMacOS is pretty good, can’t argue with you there.
- eitally 2y agoI grew up with an Apple II, then switched to Windows from 3.11 for Workgroups all the way up to Vista, at which point I switched to desktop Linux (variety of distros, but mostly ended up on Kubuntu in my house and Mint for family). Then it was 8 years of ChromeOS. The past couple of years I've been on MacBooks and, although there are quirks I don't really like, I can't argue with the fact that it mostly "just works", which is really the primary requirement of any operating system.
- Gud 2y agoStill, I would say peak Win2k was faster, cleaner and more no nonsense than modern MacOS. I use macs as well, they are not at all as snappy as windows 2000 was.
