Just be clear - you mean a Mac is less dumb? I've always used windows and thinking of switching to MacOS or going straight to Linux. Apple hardware these days is pretty fire so not sure just yet.
I have personally felt like I have to fight less with MacOS than I did with Windows. And my pihole shows Apple isn’t greedily trying to hoover up my data like MS.
Given Apple's recent actions in the US, MacOS doesn't feel like something I'd be switching to.
And Apple's recent actions in the US are not of much concern anymore
I have a couple apps that just stop working because they are open source, haven't paid the Apple developer tax, and the permission to the disk just expires seemingly randomly. I haven't figured out how to get around that and instead just don't rely on them.
