Whatever you say mate. There's a reason developers who don't Linux use macs and not windows.
Because it's based off of BSD and uses very similar tools to Linux, and because of brainwashing of the Apple cult I guess.
Overall, OSX is a piece of shit OS that is shit to work on. I lasted a year before I just gave it back and got a Windows machine, most unintuitive frustrating OS I've ever used. Sure the hardware can seem nice (if it doesn't break or if you don't need anything repaired or replaced) but OSX is trash. If you want to use something, use Linux, there are tons of good distros and all of them cater to the power user.
Then why don't you use Linux? Going from Mac back to Windows is absolutely pathetic.
Because I like Windows, and calling it "pathetic" is like saying OSX is for power users. Lol, just, lol.
I've been in the industry for 18 years, I went from an MS Systems Engineer building and managing MS infrastructure for all size companies and enterprises. I've been an AWS Cloud Support engineer working mainly on Linux and AWS, I've been a devops engineer building and maintaining on prem build systems and web server farms (these used IIS and everything was MS) for a company with insane uptime requirements, I've also done similar on AWS with K8s and a whole bunch of other stuff. I'm now a Systems Engineer in a build team for a big company and my primary responsibility is to build and manage the OSX infra we use. During that time I've had enough experience of trying to deal with OSX and all it's BS, which included using a MacBook for a year, that I can say unequivocally that Apple is a shitty company with shitty practices, and Linux can be a pain in the ass to fix when things break in strange ways. But you know what I love about Windows? It just works, I rarely have any issues. If I need Linux, I use WSL or start a VM in the cloud or my machine. I can run pretty much everything I need without issues and I'm a master with PowerShell so can automate anything I need to do on my own PC.
But you know what? You're completely right, my career is a failure and I'm pathetic because I use Windows. I should go kms now.
