TL;DR ⚠️ Warning Apple fanboys: this is a rant ⚠️
Hardware = Good
Software = Bad
Introduction I recently started a new job where my employer provided me with a brand-new 2021 16‑inch MacBook Pro. A little background on me: I’ve been using Windows and Linux my entire professional life, I have been daily-driving various Linux desktops at home for 10+ years, all of my servers run Linux, but I have never used a Mac in my life.

Apple’s 2021 16‑inch MacBook Pro is the first Mac I’ve ever used. The machine is insanely well-built. Windows and Linux have what I would call “sane window management” The Macbook Pro has ports that any PC laptop user has had for years.

Impressions from a first-time Mac user

Similar experience here, I think overall I am happier with a Mac.

What’s crazy is that I myself never owned a Mac until about 3 weeks ago, I made the spontaneous decision to go out and purchase the M1 14 inch MacBook Pro for the sole purposes of developing and programming.😅 I just want to be a developer.

I have a hard time transitioning into my Mac when I need to use XCode. I really like the look of my Mac physically and the UI is nice and fluid but that’s where it stops for me. Not a big fan myself and I don’t know how a lot of devs prefer Mac.

I still remember the first time I tried using Mac and it was so weird. But now after years of using it, there’s literally no way back.

You have to expereince it. You will find Mac is better than Windows and Linux. If you keep saying others are better after experiencing Mac for a time, you suck. :3
