macOS here yay, the ui is sooo good

Windows is seriously worst mix out of the three options. The only thing it has is legacy programs support and it’s not even a pro just a feature someone may need

And VR gaming yeah unfortunately I am not sure anything will replace my gaming 4090 7800x3d rig soon. Unless I will just get bored with it.

Worst thing is windows isn’t even better for gaming. It’s just better because it’s what devs release for because everyone uses it. It would be so much better on Mac or Linux, you know actual modern systems instead of the convoluted windows frankenstein one has to go back to to run the latest drivers.

I am almost ready to sell the rig and finally say goodbye if not for VR

I've tried Mac a few times, even had to use it in a job. I can't make myself like the UI. It's unintuitive and obtuse. And I can't stand the walled garden.

I will never understand how anyone can take the osx dock and menubar seriously. They're both just objectively awful uz

The stupid icons just bouncing like mad used to annoy the shit out of me.

Listen, the only reason I hate the Mac OS interface is the only reason you think it's sooo good -- we're both used to what we use most frequently. The mac OS interface is, to me, borderline unusable. The stunning amount of wasted space when a window isn't maximized and that godawful minimizing/maximizing start bar bullshit are impossible.

Mac is just as bad as windows, but trades being even more restricted and uncustomizable for increased privacy and hardware optimization.
