That installation method is so... peculiar. They could've asked "Install? Yes/No" but no, they make you drag and drop an icon as if you were solving a puzzle or a captcha.
Its way simpler and more reliable, It also prevents apps from planting their files deep into your system and instead keeping them compact just inside the app itself. So when you want to delete something you dont have to install a third party uninstaller to make sure every single file is removed from your system
@@mertilizm can't agree with the last statement, the 'data' of the application will be still present on "./local/share/applicationname". You will have to manually remove it.
@mertilizm it does not work this way for Adobe apps. All of the cache isn't consolidated inside the .app, it's in some bullshit directory somewhere. So I may move the Adobe After Effects.app to the trash can to get rid of the 5gb install but it won't get rid of the 15gb worth of random playback cache that it generated
@@mertilizmeven then, when you go to the launchpad and long-press an icon so that the apps start wiggling, you only get the option to uninstall apps by pressing the "x" icon IF they were installed from the Mac app store, since that guarantees that every single piece of cache it generates is consolidated inside the app manifest . If it was downloaded from the internet it won't give you that option since macos can't guarantee it won't leave junk somewhere else on the system. I think this architecture would be super solid if there was a better way to link the app and its cache together
2:07 it is important to note that window snapping was added in MacOS 15, meaning that if you update, you’ll have this feature. Though, I believe rectangle is still more robust & customizable.

Must have video for a new macbook users. I spent 5 days with my air exploring the same things. Still find the win-style "desktop and only windows" concept much easier to understand than spaces, weird full screen mode and very specific rules of how apps behave.
Very nice tutorial. I learned a few new things that I'll have to try. Instead of cmd + m to minimize, you can use cmd + h to hide an application. Then when you cmd + tab to the app, all your windows of that application show up. If you hold the option key when you hover over the red/yellow/green buttons, you get alternate display options. You can make your app window fill the screen without it creating a whole separate desktop. I always put my Applications, Documents, and Downloads folders on the dock. I find them useful there. In the dock you can right-click on them to choose how you want them to display (I choose display as folder), and you can choose how you want to view their contents (I find "grid" and "list" more useful than "fan").
i was always hesitant about macs but when my girlfriend gave me her old mac book pro (i neede a laptop, i had recently bought a windows pc but my laptop was also very useful and it broke sooo...) i knew it was time to learn macOS. at this point i equally use linux mint, macOS, and Windows 11

I was a lifelong Windows user since 95, but I hated when they brought in Window snapping. Whenever I was trying to just move and position a window to a custom size that I needed, instead Windows would grab the Window and suck it up on the side. It was so frustrating. Was relieved when I moved to MacOS in 2020. But I did setup keyboard shortcuts (a built in feature on Mac) to snap Windows for the rare times I actually need that.
If you dislike the default fullscreen behavior, you can instead either a) option+ or b) double tap/click title bar of application. This will resize the app to use the entire screen without going into fullscreen mode.
12:19 so, there's no way to make working with minimized windows easier? Like, making it behave similar to Windows OS does? Maybe clicking app icon will minimize/maximize the window?

There's 3 ways to install apps on mac. We also have install wizards on larger apps. Like fl and waves and other stuff has actual install process similar to Windows
Thank you so much for this video! It's really of great help! This is my first time ever using a Mac (having used Windows for 26 years..) so I'm quite lost -- your video helped so much!
You know what's funny: I never use snap or resize windows on mac, even though I did it a lot on windows. I tend to launch apps in fullscreen mode instead (unless its a calculator) and switch between them with 3-finger swipe, it is so much better than Alt-Tab-ing.
this video is so useful you don't even get it, I scatched the surface of this with other videos of setting up your Mac, but as someone that has only ever used windows, this helps so much as some things if you don't know how to get around it can be very annoying!!!!!!!
Great video! Helped me a ton. Just want to if there is a way to update all the non appstore apps on MacBook? Stuff like VLC and chrome. Is there a simple way to track their updates rather than opening them one by one to check for updates?
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I watched Anson Alexander’s Mac Tutorial for Beginners and then came across your video. I realize I will have to carry on with Windows Malware. Also known as Windows 10. MacOS is too weird. In over 30 years of using Windows, I think I have only used one Windows shortcut (Control, Alt, Delete). It appears shortcuts are a bit part of MacOS. That’s not for me. The section on installing apps and Rectangle is too weird for words. Rectangle 🤣. That was enough. And, to think, I was about to install Big Sur on VirtualBox on my desktop to try it out.
For home business use planning to get the Mac book Air M2 soon but also try and put Parrells with windows 11 Pro Arm, but for the office its 100% Windows.
Fun fact: Linux has the same thing with closing windows, but you press Ctrl + W same with Ctrl + Q🤓 Previewing is also in Linux with Space. Linux has some features from MacOS! XD
10:35 Why can't we see the minimized windows? it's so annoying. I started using macos 1 week ago and it really bothers me. I want to see all of the instances of application and close or click on them... Is there a way to do this other right clicking on icon and select `show all windows`?
Launchpad shows all apps in your desktop. Minimized apps have another space, the dock. It makes sense for them to be separated. You can see all the instances of an app by swiping down with three fingers on the app icon.
You can also use cmd + h to hide your application instead of minimizing the individual windows. Then you can cmd + tab to go back to that application. I find this much easier than minimizing.
You can open other applications in fullscreen mode with virtual desktop. gotta go into the other virtual desktop open the app and then drag it into the fullscreen mode and you'll get a split screen.
I still dont understand. Is there no way to qickly change between two (three or more) programs (or windows of the same programme)? Just like Ctrl+Tab on Windows. Its like one of the most essential features i use on Windows. And if its not there on MacOS then i better stay on Windows 😢.
Can't you already do so with 3 fingers up? And switch virtual desktops with 4 fingers left-right (3 finger will Alt-Tab between apps, which I think makes more sense)
There are so many comments about how bad Windows is, that one might think that Mac OS is something from heaven. I like Mac OS. The system where the only way to show all the icons in the status bar on your mac with notch is to pay $16 for Bartender. I like Mac OS. The system that has the worst window management (Windows and Linux are lightyears ahead). I like Mac OS. The system where to make the mouse work normally you need to search for 3rd party solutions. I am using Windows and Mac OS. Mac OS is more consistent in terms of design and overall UI experience. But Windows is superior in terms of productivity. I am really waiting for Snapdragon X Elite. I hope that it will be the reason to switch back to PC.
MacOS Windows management is a complete joke Basically if you can't find a third party app to fix it you are screwed Also MacOS has terrible support for monitors as well
@@83442handle The "thing" that's missing is snapping, but that's solved with Rectangle. Other than that, Mac is far ahead. Usually people just haven't bothered to get familiar with Mac's "way" of doing things. You can't make a real split screen in Windows, only resize two windows next to each other. With Mac, you can both move windows next to each other natively (option + green button or window-menu) or add "Split-Screen 2 apps" Shortcut from Shortcuts gallery or use Rectangle etc. or set them in split screen mode, so full-screening content respects it's side. You can't drag and drop stuff through task view. On Mac, swipe up with 3 fingers while dragging. You can even use mouse and trackpad at the same time. Or keyboard shortcuts, including spacebar as click. You can't click while dragging stuff to and from windows On Mac, you can press spacebar or force click the trackpad. To move a window to another virtual desktop, on windows, you open a taskview, right click on a window, choose move to another window, choose the desktop from a menu. On Mac, you drag the window to the side of the screen. Or to top and drop it to any desktop, or press ctrl+arrow to switch desktop while holding the window. You can't drag and drop stuff to another virtual desktop. With Mac, you can many different ways. Just swipe with 3 fingers, use keyboard shortcut, Mission Control, hold over Dock icon, use Hot Corners, drag to side of the screen... On Windows, you must move window from the top bar Mac lets you both resize and drag window from every side. Perpendicular moves, parallel resizes. On Windows, you can only minimize or maximize. Mac let's you minimize, maximize, fullscreen, hide. Window let's you drag the "splitter" in the middle to resize both windows at the same time. That's something Mac can't do ons desktop. It does do it in Split Screen mode. Other than the snapping layouts, Windows resizing is very limited. It let's you drag a side and maximize the window, but that's pretty much it. Mac lets you maximize by double clicking top bar, or option double clicking a corner, but you can also auto-resize to a screen border by double clicking any side or corner, option let's you also mirror movement. For example, you can resize to fill top and bottom of a window by option-doubleclicking top or bottom. Shift let's you keep the current shape of the window. Good for media-related windows. For developers, the windows are more limited on Windows. For example, on Arc browser, the browser cannot have the uniform thin look on Windows. On Mac, developers can make their own implementations if you want. Like Opera GX on Mac has the window buttons on side of the window to maximize vertical browsing space. In fact, even if you're not a developer, you can use Apple's Shortcuts app to create your own advanced Window management scripts without actually scripting, by using drag & drop blocks like "move window" and "resize window" in Shortcuts app. For example, I've made a shortcut that sets 4 last active windows next to each other.
@@eclipticpath Seems to me that you're coming from "laptop" point of view. MacOS is great when using as a pure laptop, its when you connect to a monitor and mouse, thats is when MacOS completely shits its bed. I have been using MacOs for about 3 years, and its still very hard to image that somebody would take MacOS over Windows for desktop setups given you have experience with both systems.
@@Sinier940n I have Mac Mini & Ultrawide monitor, trackpad on left hand, mouse on right. I don't have a Macbook, but I can imagine MacOS is very good for laptop users, so I'm sure you're right. But on desktop too, on Windows, it's not possible for me to put Resolve on left and make a video go full screen on right, cause windows doesn't have split screen mode. It's not possible to use trackpad and mouse at the same time. It's not possible to maximize vertical space on browsers because windows on Windows don't let me hide the top bar etc... The thing is, for most "issues" on Mac, I can find an answer like "install Rectangle", "disable this setting" etc, so I can do stuff "the Windows way" if I want to, but I can not do stuff "the Mac way" on Windows. On Windows, getting the file from File Explorer must be done with alt tabbing. And I can do that on Mac too. But if I happen to have my hand on trackpad, I can also swipe to Finder, choose the file and swipe back. You can't do that on Windows. Though, PowerToys etc. does bring some more functionality, so with some tweaking and extra apps, Windows can be very good too. Usually, people who think MacOS can't be used with desktops just haven't learned an efficient workflow and are using 3rd party mouse/keyboard but haven't set up any way to use any of Mac's navigation capabilites. They full-screen an app and think they're stuck cause they don't know they could slide between the apps or peek into desktop at any time. So for less tech-savvy people, I'd definitely recommend Windows. Although Mac is super versatile, its desktop and window management system is MUCH more complicated. I tried using Linux's AwesomeWM and I couldn't use it at all. It's even more complicated but that doesn't mean it's shitty. It just means I don't know how to use it efficiently.
hot corner is nice, but if you want something else there, you can always access your desktop by doping a "pinch" gesture with four fingers on your trackpad btw
There are literally ZERO built-in MacOS window management features that will give you the speed and productivity of Microsoft's windows management. This is something that is absolutely destroying me. Especially as someone who works a job using a Mac 8 hours a day, who then switches between a Mac Mini M1, Mac Book Air M2 and a Windows Gaming PC. Mac simply does everything worse when it comes to productivity/windows management. You have to look into third party apps to make up for it, most of the good ones aren't even found in the Mac's App Store.
I think this is just touching on computing basics. Same for Linux can be demonstrated too. I would like to see a guide showing how to run and use applications available in Windows on Mac OS. Specifically would be like modern gaming titles. It would make for a better reason to crossover for me.
"It's that easy to uninstall" Unless it isn't self-contained, like plugins or apps that separate into various parts of the computer. In that case, good luck manually tracking down the files 😢
The software either has an uninstaller, or you can use the ‘reduce clutter’ feature. It’s much better than Windows imo. If you don’t have an uninstaller in windows it’s a mess, you have to use Revo Uninstaller and that often doesn’t work
search bar cant find if you dont seacrch with first word. when you search for after effects it cant find if you dont write adobe first. if you search in finder firstly it's searching in entire pc not in the folder you need to choose. you can't scale text on 4k monitor like windows. if you wanna use 4k you must read tiny texts and menu items. otherwise you must use your 4k monitor 2k you can't drag and drop easily . dock bar doesn't allow to move object in a app when you use two monitor if a window half in monitor 1 other half in monitor 2 you cant see a half of it. you dont have clipboard to copy paste many things there are many things more make my works slower.
Thanks a lot for this video can you please 🙏🏻 make a video about “How can you screen record in macbook with internal audio” just like on any other iphone , mac only shows to use mic as the sound source 😢
Will you make a guide for dealing with all the annoying macOS bugs? Like the menu bar refusing to slide out on hover or the cursor stopping to change over links in Safari, or Safari straight up pooping itself and randomly closing? Or the Recovery Mode reverting back to the original OS after a disk wipe _even when connected to the Internet_ ?
Regrets, no, I like it, I like having the option to use both OS's. The things I miss from windows are: 1. obviously gaming, 2. the ability to turn off certain animations (like switching virtual desktops that take twice as long with ProMotion for no reason), 3. a "snappier" way to snap windows, 4. some features from the taskbar, like app previews once you hover over them.
If you need a solid laptop, just buy it, you will get used to the os. I bought mine like 2 weeks ago. Its not hard at all to adapt to system.@@sherifelbatawy

You know what's funny: I never use snap or resize windows on mac, even though I did it a lot on windows. I tend to launch apps in fullscreen mode instead (unless its a calculator) and switch between them with 3-finger swipe, it is so much better than Alt-Tab-ing.
DUDE, where were you like 7 months ago... you would've made my life with this MBP a lot easier!
Thank you for this guide, great tips for a Windows user.
this video is so useful you don't even get it, I scatched the surface of this with other videos of setting up your Mac, but as someone that has only ever used windows, this helps so much as some things if you don't know how to get around it can be very annoying!!!!!!!
I bet most people here are watching this without switching or planning to
Fabulous video. Thank you. Keep them coming. We are all learning with you.
"stop reading my folder names"
what a guy.
Thanks for this simple and helpful tutorial. I love it!
The command + w is similar to chromeos because chromeos also uses Ctrl + w as known as closing tabs because all of the apps are web based
3:44 - dying 🤣🤣🤣
Perfect help video 🎉 thanks
I use virtual desktop already on Windows but on MacOS there’s a small delay, is there a way to disable that?
Maybe ‘reduce motion’ in accessibility -> display
9:44 That bloop! :)
bro recently I brought a MacBook Pro m3 pro and iam student I love your content thank you
Great video! Helped me a ton. Just want to if there is a way to update all the non appstore apps on MacBook? Stuff like VLC and chrome. Is there a simple way to track their updates rather than opening them one by one to check for updates?
Great Video!
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I watched Anson Alexander’s Mac Tutorial for Beginners and then came across your video. I realize I will have to carry on with Windows Malware. Also known as Windows 10. MacOS is too weird. In over 30 years of using Windows, I think I have only used one Windows shortcut (Control, Alt, Delete). It appears shortcuts are a bit part of MacOS. That’s not for me. The section on installing apps and Rectangle is too weird for words. Rectangle 🤣. That was enough. And, to think, I was about to install Big Sur on VirtualBox on my desktop to try it out.
For home business use planning to get the Mac book Air M2 soon but also try and put Parrells with windows 11 Pro Arm, but for the office its 100% Windows.
great video, but why overprice the wallpapers so hard
well on mac os sequoia you will be able to snap windows, also i guess you can just turn this feature off like almost avery other feature on mac.
Very useful video, thanks ❤🎉
thanks for all this useful information . i an see how hard it would be for you to make this video and editing
Fun fact: Linux has the same thing with closing windows, but you press Ctrl + W same with Ctrl + Q🤓
Previewing is also in Linux with Space. Linux has some features from MacOS! XD
In contrast, these shortcuts have proven invaluable to my survival.
the way of your explanation something really awesome, thank man you helped me so much i like it!
Cheers!
This helps so much thank you.
10:35 Why can't we see the minimized windows? it's so annoying. I started using macos 1 week ago and it really bothers me. I want to see all of the instances of application and close or click on them... Is there a way to do this other right clicking on icon and select `show all windows`?
Launchpad shows all apps in your desktop. Minimized apps have another space, the dock. It makes sense for them to be separated. You can see all the instances of an app by swiping down with three fingers on the app icon.
@@angeltorres7048 So basically MacOS isn't meant for a mouse.
@@83442handle If you're on mouse, you can enable Scroll to Exposé app
@@83442handle you can use control + down arrow.
You can also use cmd + h to hide your application instead of minimizing the individual windows. Then you can cmd + tab to go back to that application. I find this much easier than minimizing.
You can open other applications in fullscreen mode with virtual desktop. gotta go into the other virtual desktop open the app and then drag it into the fullscreen mode and you'll get a split screen.
8:38 as microphone you have an iPhone 3 Microphone available???? It’s old af 😂 but still works like a charm since you have it :>
10/10
Mic
I still dont understand. Is there no way to qickly change between two (three or more) programs (or windows of the same programme)? Just like Ctrl+Tab on Windows. Its like one of the most essential features i use on Windows. And if its not there on MacOS then i better stay on Windows 😢.
is there! That mission control thing is an addition! See the video carefully he showed it!
What app do I download on Windows so when I swipe with four fingers up or down it shows all open apps or all windows per apps?
I would like that app too
Can't you already do so with 3 fingers up? And switch virtual desktops with 4 fingers left-right (3 finger will Alt-Tab between apps, which I think makes more sense)
@@lmnk On Windows?
@@jamesnyers1721 yes, on Win11 at least (not sure about Win10, but it's probably the same)
I don't use MacOS, neither Windows, but I found this video very interesting and helpful! Nice explanation :D
Do you use linux then? Or just no desktop operating system
I dont even have a mac why am i wathcing every video wtf
You won the day
how did you change wallpaper between vitrual desktops?
Change the wallpaper while in that desktop. It will only apply to that space.
There are so many comments about how bad Windows is, that one might think that Mac OS is something from heaven.
I like Mac OS. The system where the only way to show all the icons in the status bar on your mac with notch is to pay $16 for Bartender.
I like Mac OS. The system that has the worst window management (Windows and Linux are lightyears ahead).
I like Mac OS. The system where to make the mouse work normally you need to search for 3rd party solutions.
I am using Windows and Mac OS. Mac OS is more consistent in terms of design and overall UI experience. But Windows is superior in terms of productivity.
I am really waiting for Snapdragon X Elite. I hope that it will be the reason to switch back to PC.
MacOS Windows management is a complete joke
Basically if you can't find a third party app to fix it you are screwed
Also MacOS has terrible support for monitors as well
@@83442handle The "thing" that's missing is snapping, but that's solved with Rectangle.
Other than that, Mac is far ahead. Usually people just haven't bothered to get familiar with Mac's "way" of doing things.
You can't make a real split screen in Windows, only resize two windows next to each other.
With Mac, you can both move windows next to each other natively (option + green button or window-menu) or add "Split-Screen 2 apps" Shortcut from Shortcuts gallery or use Rectangle etc. or set them in split screen mode, so full-screening content respects it's side.
You can't drag and drop stuff through task view.
On Mac, swipe up with 3 fingers while dragging. You can even use mouse and trackpad at the same time. Or keyboard shortcuts, including spacebar as click.
You can't click while dragging stuff to and from windows
On Mac, you can press spacebar or force click the trackpad.
To move a window to another virtual desktop, on windows, you open a taskview, right click on a window, choose move to another window, choose the desktop from a menu.
On Mac, you drag the window to the side of the screen. Or to top and drop it to any desktop, or press ctrl+arrow to switch desktop while holding the window.
You can't drag and drop stuff to another virtual desktop.
With Mac, you can many different ways. Just swipe with 3 fingers, use keyboard shortcut, Mission Control, hold over Dock icon, use Hot Corners, drag to side of the screen...
On Windows, you must move window from the top bar
Mac lets you both resize and drag window from every side. Perpendicular moves, parallel resizes.
On Windows, you can only minimize or maximize.
Mac let's you minimize, maximize, fullscreen, hide.
Window let's you drag the "splitter" in the middle to resize both windows at the same time.
That's something Mac can't do ons desktop. It does do it in Split Screen mode.
Other than the snapping layouts, Windows resizing is very limited. It let's you drag a side and maximize the window, but that's pretty much it.
Mac lets you maximize by double clicking top bar, or option double clicking a corner, but you can also auto-resize to a screen border by double clicking any side or corner, option let's you also mirror movement. For example, you can resize to fill top and bottom of a window by option-doubleclicking top or bottom. Shift let's you keep the current shape of the window. Good for media-related windows.
For developers, the windows are more limited on Windows. For example, on Arc browser, the browser cannot have the uniform thin look on Windows.
On Mac, developers can make their own implementations if you want. Like Opera GX on Mac has the window buttons on side of the window to maximize vertical browsing space.
In fact, even if you're not a developer, you can use Apple's Shortcuts app to create your own advanced Window management scripts without actually scripting, by using drag & drop blocks like "move window" and "resize window" in Shortcuts app. For example, I've made a shortcut that sets 4 last active windows next to each other.
@@eclipticpath Watch the video "I Forced Myself to Use macOS For 30 Days (macOS Challenge)" details the issues with MacOS
@@eclipticpath Seems to me that you're coming from "laptop" point of view. MacOS is great when using as a pure laptop, its when you connect to a monitor and mouse, thats is when MacOS completely shits its bed.
I have been using MacOs for about 3 years, and its still very hard to image that somebody would take MacOS over Windows for desktop setups given you have experience with both systems.
@@Sinier940n I have Mac Mini & Ultrawide monitor, trackpad on left hand, mouse on right. I don't have a Macbook, but I can imagine MacOS is very good for laptop users, so I'm sure you're right. But on desktop too, on Windows, it's not possible for me to put Resolve on left and make a video go full screen on right, cause windows doesn't have split screen mode. It's not possible to use trackpad and mouse at the same time. It's not possible to maximize vertical space on browsers because windows on Windows don't let me hide the top bar etc...
The thing is, for most "issues" on Mac, I can find an answer like "install Rectangle", "disable this setting" etc, so I can do stuff "the Windows way" if I want to, but I can not do stuff "the Mac way" on Windows. On Windows, getting the file from File Explorer must be done with alt tabbing. And I can do that on Mac too. But if I happen to have my hand on trackpad, I can also swipe to Finder, choose the file and swipe back. You can't do that on Windows. Though, PowerToys etc. does bring some more functionality, so with some tweaking and extra apps, Windows can be very good too.
Usually, people who think MacOS can't be used with desktops just haven't learned an efficient workflow and are using 3rd party mouse/keyboard but haven't set up any way to use any of Mac's navigation capabilites. They full-screen an app and think they're stuck cause they don't know they could slide between the apps or peek into desktop at any time. So for less tech-savvy people, I'd definitely recommend Windows. Although Mac is super versatile, its desktop and window management system is MUCH more complicated. I tried using Linux's AwesomeWM and I couldn't use it at all. It's even more complicated but that doesn't mean it's shitty. It just means I don't know how to use it efficiently.
hot corner is nice, but if you want something else there, you can always access your desktop by doping a "pinch" gesture with four fingers on your trackpad btw
no, just use the hot corner baby
@@cant_sleeeep what you prefer dawg, just thrown it there cuz i find it easier
iMac with no trackpad...
I love MacOS more than Windows and Linux, but I just can't get one so this will be fascinating(I haven't watched the video yet)
May I ask where did you get the custom white cursor in 0:17 ?
you need to change the colour of it in settings
Apparently this beautiful wallpaper is super easy to get just screenshoting cutting out the dock and upscaling
There are literally ZERO built-in MacOS window management features that will give you the speed and productivity of Microsoft's windows management. This is something that is absolutely destroying me. Especially as someone who works a job using a Mac 8 hours a day, who then switches between a Mac Mini M1, Mac Book Air M2 and a Windows Gaming PC. Mac simply does everything worse when it comes to productivity/windows management. You have to look into third party apps to make up for it, most of the good ones aren't even found in the Mac's App Store.
How have you changed the cursor on Mac?
I think this is just touching on computing basics. Same for Linux can be demonstrated too. I would like to see a guide showing how to run and use applications available in Windows on Mac OS. Specifically would be like modern gaming titles. It would make for a better reason to crossover for me.
Can you try the Arc Browser as an alternative to Chrome?
Just go for it, it’s brilliant
the team fortress 2 sfx made me have whiplash
You can snap Windows to the left or right you just have to hold down on the full screen Butten
How do I access virtual desktops without a trackpad? I have a Mac mini w/ regular keyboard and mouse
Try doing it with the control key. Control + UP will bring up mission control and Control + RIGHT / LEFT arrow keys will switch virtual desktops.
"It's that easy to uninstall"
Unless it isn't self-contained, like plugins or apps that separate into various parts of the computer. In that case, good luck manually tracking down the files 😢
The software either has an uninstaller, or you can use the ‘reduce clutter’ feature.
It’s much better than Windows imo. If you don’t have an uninstaller in windows it’s a mess, you have to use Revo Uninstaller and that often doesn’t work
oh hey. guide me please how to find function alternative for windows volume mixer in the best os in the world
after 4 years switching to mac. i'm now back to windows.
search bar cant find if you dont seacrch with first word. when you search for after effects it cant find if you dont write adobe first.
if you search in finder firstly it's searching in entire pc not in the folder you need to choose.
you can't scale text on 4k monitor like windows. if you wanna use 4k you must read tiny texts and menu items. otherwise you must use your 4k monitor 2k
you can't drag and drop easily . dock bar doesn't allow to move object in a app
when you use two monitor if a window half in monitor 1 other half in monitor 2 you cant see a half of it.
you dont have clipboard to copy paste many things
there are many things more make my works slower.
Hot corners is a linux feature btw :3
what’s the camera icon in your dock?

Thanks a lot for this video can you please 🙏🏻 make a video about “How can you screen record in macbook with internal audio” just like on any other iphone , mac only shows to use mic as the sound source 😢
Don't forget about karabiner with the windows style pc shortcuts! it lets you use windows style control while you slowly transition to using CMD
Will you make a guide for dealing with all the annoying macOS bugs? Like the menu bar refusing to slide out on hover or the cursor stopping to change over links in Safari, or Safari straight up pooping itself and randomly closing? Or the Recovery Mode reverting back to the original OS after a disk wipe _even when connected to the Internet_ ?

after switching to Mac OS, do you have any regrets, miss some windows features and wish that Mac adds them?
Regrets, no, I like it, I like having the option to use both OS's. The things I miss from windows are: 1. obviously gaming, 2. the ability to turn off certain animations (like switching virtual desktops that take twice as long with ProMotion for no reason), 3. a "snappier" way to snap windows, 4. some features from the taskbar, like app previews once you hover over them.
@@bogxd I’ve been unsure about taking the decision of purchasing a MBP for 3 years now 😅
If you need a solid laptop, just buy it, you will get used to the os. I bought mine like 2 weeks ago. Its not hard at all to adapt to system.@@sherifelbatawy
What do you mostly need a computer for? And how old is your current one?
@@bogxd Video editing, I’m currently using a lame 2013 hp 2000 with a 3rd gen Cor i3 chip and a built-in intel “graphics card”. It’s lame, that it can’t even play back 4K vids, that I’ve been using Lumafusion on iPhone. That said, I like how Windows 11 Pro is put together and easy to use.
