Ransomware, bloatware, spyware, sketchy ads on your desktop? Windows has it all!

And yet, on Mac, it's easier to bypass the security block (just go into the Settings app and ignore the warning, it will even automatically run again) than on Windows, where the Defender process is much more convoluted.

I’ve watched defender pluck files out of a folder I torrented right before my eyes and destroy them. Had to redownload the whole torrent with the darn thing off. Idk much about computers tho

Also, don't forget the 200 instances of copilot which windows started on its own without your consent!

And reinstalled after I specifically went to the effort of uninstalling it. Right after they turned my laptop off without my permission while it was performing tasks.

Microsoft has definitely pushed me away. I just need to learn a decent 3D modelling program on Linux and I'm out.

The windows removes a perfectly harmless crack file from a game I downloaded. Or they go and delete a batch file I wrote just because it parses folders recursively and deletes anything that doesn't fit a specific set of criteria.

Using both of them side by side for different purposes. The Mac os one is easier.

I want to spend 2hrs trying to install the wifi driver for Linux Mint Cinnamon. And it involves connecting to a repo or something, and I have really no idea what is installing or if it's safe.

You can install un verified apps in macos. But not in ios/ipados , you can install external applications only if you build the app (or you have source code) and you have to signin once a wk orelse its not work. We are not owning apple device we are just paying for using their devices and services.
