You might be considering a MacBook, but you haven't used Mac OS much. Someone has it—what do they think?
I currently run Windows but previously used a Mac for many years. It handles most tasks well, though gaming support is limited. For specific processes like development, a Unix setup can be beneficial.
Been a Mac user all my life. Just started with PC Master Race in 2017.
It seems we should focus on the topic you're interested in. Typically MacOS works well with many apps, but gaming isn't its strongest suit. I've been using a Mac since around 2007 and play games on a Windows PC.
It's a big change moving up or down the intelligence scale. What do your grandparents think about those PCMR Nazi symbols? Mostly they'd say it's outdated. The main MacBooks from M3, M5, and M7 are not great—switch to a solid i5 or i7. You'll find good games on Steam, but they often drop for Macs long after Windows releases them. Updating software on Apple devices is smooth, unlike Windows. Everything you need runs natively, and most Linux tools work just fine on Mac too. Safari isn't great, but it's different from what you're used to. Anything that bothers you in Windows won't be the same on Mac—except for some quirks; you'll need third-party fixes to get the most out of Windows, and full-screen games feel tricky to navigate.
The progress curve is quite challenging, that's what I've observed.
