I’ve been supporting Mac, Windows and Linux for years. I find I can only truly keep up with two at a time, so every couple of years I switch windows -> OSX.
I remember the first time I got to work on a Mac (for fun). I was about 9 years old and I just wanted to learn. I seen an option for a ram disk and made it fail to boot.
Luckily my aunt had System 7.5 for Dummies. She was so mad at me.
I had a Quadra not long after that and I loved it.
There is a lot of software that only runs on Windows that has no viable alternatives. For private use, the vast majority of people would be fine without Windows, but so many professional applications require it.
This is why I always bounce around between all 3 major OS’s (Yes yes, I know Linux distros complicate thongs)
Keeps me flexible, an OS is a tool and you need to use the best tool for the job at hand
I bet that if you stepped away from the computer while removing said thongs they wouldn’t seem so complicated.
I know, right? Gotta take the hands off the keyboard or at least take your eyes off the monitor for a second if you use your teeth.
Don’t tell me what to do, you’re not my Dad!

I kind of skipped the time in between the Apple TV and the first Mac minis :)
I sold a few quadras, They were really advanced for their time.
I was still using my Quadra in 2002. I didn’t stop using it until 68k software stopped being made.
It’s crazy but I remember it being a 640. Those apparently don’t exist so it must have been a 630 or a 650.
It was not a tower, it sat flat so it couldn’t have been the 640av.
This is driving me nuts lol.
But Windows is never the best tool for any job. Unless of course you only know that one tool like most people do.

You don’t work in IT do you?
How about for Digital Audio Workstation duty?
