macOS

Mac is better than Windows for my daily use, but Linux is still my preferred workstation OS.
I had a Mac in 2007 plus a few years, and after a long break, by the end of 2023 a friend poked me and challenged me to try again with Apple Silicon. So now I'm a Mac user again, unfortunately. I still use Linux and Windows (work) daily though. I'm impressed by the low power consumption.

If you're weird enough to consider buying one, then remember to give it high specs. I was told by multiple people I shouldn't care about ram, since it's better at handling it than the others. It's a lie, I get lag spikes when it runs out. It's better than Windows, but worse than zram in Linux.

CH34x chips require you to install a driver from their Chinese site...
I've installed more drivers on Mac in 2024, than I've done on Windows since 2014 (Windows downloads automatically from Windows Update) :(
