Windows. I used Mac OS X a few years. But in my opinion Mac OS X is (or was, back in this time) PITA. Switching back to Windows has definitively saved me hundreds of hours!

That is so strange. I worked in a mixed shop and all of us OSX people laughed our butts off when we did zoom and screen share with Windows guys as they took forever to do stuff we did almost instantly. I used Windows side-by-side with OSX for years and had nothing like your experience.

But, good on you. It's nice that you found your niche. If you ever are forced to switch back reach out. I have a lot of good techniques for fast and pleasant OSX.

That sounds so strange...

I use Windows every day, and I know shortcuts and tools for many things.

But for work I use Ubuntu, and for writing code it is a much more efficient environment.

So it is actually hard to imagine an environment less productive than Windows.

Now, if your work is done in Office (which I only use to write emails), or Photoshop, then I understand. But I am still intrigued.
