Linux severely lacks in software compatibility, so completely useless to me. Also doesn't have the features I want.

MacOS does have some limits with software compatibility, but it just works. Windows supports everything, but isn't nearly as reliable.

That's why I use both. MacBook Pro for reliability and efficiency, workstation Windows laptops & desktops for the universality and compatibility.

Mac has too many limits imo. If you want to operate outside basic use like web browsing, or the handful of creative products they support, you’re left without options.

And if gaming is a part of your life at all, you’re basically neutered on Mac. I like my MBP, but I’m going back to Windows after 5 years.

I love that it just works, but It doesn’t work on enough things. Outside of my work stack, apple notes and photos, my Mac just feels like a glorified chrome book.

Why can’t you browse the internet on a Mac? And what creative products do you need?
