Mac, Linux or Windows?

[Benton]

Hi, I'm here to start one of those threads where people have discussions over which OS they prefer using even though everyone know Linux is superior but i prefer using a Mac myself. Window users would argue that by saying no. Windows is the most powerful and versatile operating system to ever exist, but it's all up for discussion. Comment what you think is better and why. I prefer mac because it's simple. Clean. I love it when programming because i don't have popups disturbing me. I don't have to download an update every week and I don't have to download a 3rd party terminal to run certain commands through the terminal.

Mac.
Love the simplicity of the design.
Clean, modern. I've used Windows, and it's just too clunky for my liking.

I feel like it's also better for casual work, programming, business, etc. Of course,
it won't compete in the gaming industry, but not like I play PC games anyway. I
stick with Minecraft, CS, and GMod. All run with 60+ FPS, so we're good.

I hate these types of discussions but I'll put some of my thought.

I use an iMac.

It runs Mac OSX.

I use it to code.

Watch cat videos.

But I also like to play games, but Mac OSX doesn't have very good choices.

So, I boot camp into windows.

In the end, it doesn't matter because I can use both.

But seriously, I think Mac OSX just feels a lot cleaner and everything is just so simple to setup (no drivers etc.). Windows isn't that bad either but it just isn't as clean as I would like it to be. I also think scrolling is a bit abrupt on pc.

I have the Mac OS on my Windows computer and that's what i use. I literally never boot up my Windows OS now. It's always the Mac OS and that's why i prefer Mac. Can't wait to get an IRL job as a programmer so i can actually buy myself a real Mac lol.

They are each very dependent on use cases.

I use a Macbook Air for school because it is lightweight, the UI is very clean, the OS is optimized for the hardware, it is fast and easy to use for taking notes and stuff like writing this forum post and chatting in the Prime discord.

I use my Windows PC at home for more intensive programs such as Photoshop and Premiere as well as longer writing pieces such as my short stories, and most importantly gaming. Gaming on Mac OS is incredibly difficult as you aren't really able to add more storage or a good GPU. The performance I get is unquestionably better on Windows as well as the convince factors of being able to run virtually ever program.

I use a Linux dedicated box to run CPU intensive things like rendering videos or hosting servers. Linux is good for running things like Discord bots, Minecraft Servers and Editing however I would not use it for anything other than that, it is very clunky and the command line makes it difficult to get anything done efficiently.

It all depends on the use case.
