But after I adapted to the UI and the directory structure, I could use my MacBook as fluently as I did my Windows PC.įast forward to now, and I was looking into a new thin-and-light for college. I haven't used macOS at all up until that point (I had some experience with Linux however), and I had a bit of a tough time getting used to it. I've used Windows machines for all of my life, except during the 2019-2020 school year when my high school loaned 11-inch 2015 MacBook Airs to students for educational use.
WHY SWITCH FROM MAC TO PC WINDOWS 10
You will probably want to prepare a Windows 10 VM (don't get VirtualBox, either Fusion or Parallels) in the rare chance that you need to run something on Windows. I'm not really a fan of the aesthetic, and I won't buy this myself (office-provided), but at the price point, it's decent enough, not to mention you're already using iOS anyway so everything will just be even more seamless, and you won't be too surprised on the workflow (being an Android user, it took me a while to get the cues that would've been obvious for iOS users). If you're mostly just using it as a dumb RDP client and a glorified YouTube machine, any OS would be fine really. For the rest, Fusion helps a bit (but you don't get this luxury for now if you pick those M1).
I was born and raised around the blue glow of Windows, so I thought I'd be thoroughly annoyed when a project forces me to almost always boot to macOS (previously I just boot to Windows and reboot when necessary).īut most of my projects and apps works well enough in macOS, and most of my personal apps are there too.
