Many people have asked me for advice about a new computer and I tell them "The M1 Macs are better than anything else in terms of hardware, if you can stand using MacOS."
This has been my experience too. I like the hardware, but MacOS is something I just tolerate. Lot of minor irritants, lack of ability/keyboard shortcuts to dock Windows, different short cut for switching window and application to name a few.
What would you use instead? Windows? Desktop Linux? stifled but not really snicker
