Clean os install? You haven't used windows in a while have you?

Im a Linux guy but am forced to use Mac's and windows every now and then.

Windows has outpaced macos for a decade straight.

Macos looks like it hasn't been updated in years. It's constantly bugging me for passwords for random things. It is objectively the worst OS. I'd rather work on a Chromebook.

I’m not a single operating system guy like you. I use all three professionally. I’ve never had the bizzare struggle you describe.
I think he has different critera on what bothers him, thats okay though isn't it. I get a little annoyed at anything where I have to use a touchpad, not enough to rant about it, but it definitely increases friction (haha) in my thought process.

Maybe the only reason why Windows outpaced macos in this for you is because Windows started as crap and is now barely looks like a proper OS?

Thank God Mac hasn't changed that much. I absolutely love its UI.
