Planning to switch to mac from windows
It's literal dog shit. I bought an M1, and it's extremely blurry when connected to my 1440p monitor, no matter the cable or port. This was after it took 3 months for them to get it to me. Techs answer was to just buy an Apple monitor, Fuck Apple. Returned that piece of shit and got a Framework.
Was it a 32" 1440p monitor ?
Mac os scaling is for 110 ppi or 220 ppi Eg -If you're using 4k 27" (~163 ppi) , mac os will render the screen to a virtual canvas and scale it down then to your non native resolution .. Resulting in blurry pixels , more gpu use , more memory usage
You just bought a bad monitor with incompatible scaling. MacOS’ immaculate text rendering will make anything else look blurry unless the PPI is same.
Unix base works well with open source, privacy, M1 chips improve compile time
Lol. There's a bazillion bloat shit on Mac you can't get rid off. Like, there's a Chess app on Mac. You can't remove it. Or their Music, Home, and a long list of other useless apps.Nothing like that on Windows. You can uninstall pretty much anything.
Maybe if you do infra work. Everything else is done locally on the machine.
Unix based OS so it's more similar to our Linux deploy targets than Windows is. Also MacOS doesn't come with nearly as much bloated bullshit. Windows literally has candy crush pre installed and ads in the start menu. MacBooks have very premium build quality, they're sturdy and good materials.
It's a *Nix machine that just works.The biggest problem is then cost, but that's the company's problem, so it's not an actual problem.
M1 has horrible battery life, apps frequently push the machine to out of memory, and many apps aren't even compatible.Performance should be measured in real world usage not benchmarks
My MacBook Pro was a Godsend as a UI Dev. Code compile time, CRUD ops for heavy applications were super fast. Loved the graphics and Mac UI. Now, with a new team I’m handed a Windows where saving a single file puts the system in overload. How times change.
I'm over it. Since WSL2, I prefer Windows over Mac. Windows 11 has tight Wayland and GPU integration.
People in day long office jobs, how can you work easily on Mac (startup folks specially ) I have been given one at my new job at a startup and it looked pretty jazzy and all on day one. Now when I have to do real work, it sucks.I can't...
futures wise it's far far behind windows
then why do people use it ?
Is this sarcasm ? Apple UX is far ahead of windows . Though I haven’t used windows in a long time , maybe they have i...
I was a huge Window fan until I got used to Mac Now the ease of work is so much more addictive
It's an easier alternative to Linux without all the Windows bs
I'm asking this out of curiosity (don't judge), Does Microsoft give windows laptops to their software development engineers? @microsoft
Does anybody exist ? My work laptop is a DELL with i7 with 256 SSD, but it's horribly slow for frontend as well as dotnet work. Anybody convinced upper management to switch to Mac ?
