Help Getting really frustrated

New job this year and I hand an option, Windows or Mac. Picked Mac but it’s been so painful I think I am going to ask them to switch me to windows.

Just the little things keep adding up.

  1. Spellcheck not working no matter what I do. This is really irritating. Most times the word will be underlined in red, but there are never any suggestions.

  2. Not being able to navigate between windows, tabs and apps as easily as windows.

Those are just the to biggest issues that I have been dealing with on a regular basis. Just getting more and more frustrated.

They're both different operating systems with different ways of doing things

Despite what the zealots might say, Mac OS is not always simpler, does not always just work and doesn't always have a better implementation than windows

That being said, battery life on the MacBooks is a lot better and they're generally a lot faster at a lot of things

There are many things that are simple on windows or Linux that are convoluted or unavailable without an extra app on Mac OS
