See, I disagree with anyone who says MacOS is more polished.  I've lived with it as my work computer for the past three years and it's a bloody disaster.  *Nothing* works as it should, and the updates system is worse than Microsoft.

If Microsoft would quit adding trackers, ads, forced Microsoft accounts, and unnecessary features to Windows it would actually be quite compelling. Outside of those items, the last several versions of Win10 have been pretty solid.  If I needed to use a proprietary OS, I'd slap Windows Server 2019 on my laptop and call it a day.
