Honestly looking fwd to the day I can cutover to linux cleanly. And IMO, some of them are nicer than macos.
All the kids can use Linux now, and they actually think it's cooler than windows.
So Windows days are numbered for me, especially with this experience.
This laptops's a Ryzen 9 5900HS with a 3070, and 24GB RAM.
I upgraded from Win10, and the desktop was crashing, so I panicked and did a clean Win11 install.
Honestly, it was butter before and it's butter now, which is good I guess. I was worried about some chatter about ryzen issues with Win11, but experienced none of that.. The heaviest game I have installed rn is Forza 4, and it runs normal on all ultra. Didnt see any particular spike in thermals either, but then I don't monitor that very closely.
On the productivity side though, which is what I use this machine most for (data analysis, large files, etc), the little UI crappiness annoys me the most.
And Linus just isn't helping...

I use all 3 (well haven't upgraded to Win11 yet) OSes. MacOS for most of my work. Because I need CUDA, I have a workstation with an NVIDA GPU running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, that system is also dualboot with Win10 (use it for gaming mainly).
I've been a Windows user for decades, and only a MacOS user in the last 3 years, but I can tell you without a doubt MacOS is just so much more superior in terms of productivity. The trackpad gestures, switching desktops having far lass crashs and malware to deal with, it's just a God send.
This doesn't even start with how great some MacOS software is. My desktop has better specs, yet software like Keynote can open a 1000 slide presentation deck without missing a beat. Try that in powerpoint and it'll bring your system to a crawl.
Final Cut is another tool that is worth it's weight in gold for Mac users.
And if you're a developer Mac is even better, having a bash terminal and support for basically all developer libraries via brew and brew cask, it's no surprise the majority of Silicon valley is using Macs for coding.
I'm not hating on Windows, Windows has so much legacy sheit to support and can't change it's UI drastically as it would alienate so many non pro users. It's a hard position to be in.
But if you're a pro user (who doesn't need to game or use CUDA) Mac is a great alternative.
High prices sure, But longevity is unmatched... My 2013 mbp still runs like a beast! The battery is the only thing that needed replacing before I donated it. That's a 8 year old MacBook and it's living it's life strong as a dual boot machine to this day. Gen 1 iPad home here still liquid smooth too...

i've always heard how productive Macs are over windows desktops. but to each their own. i just find Apple insults their customers with high prices with alright specs but i figure they think to themselves as a 'premium' product.
Windows 11 doesnt look that innovative but i do like that overlay that pops up with stuff on the screen when you move the mouse to one side.
