Is macOS better than Windows?

TO game of thrones! When the subject is the operating system from a laptop or computer, controversy ensues: on one side, we have the fierce fans of macOS, Apple's operating system and, on the other, the unconditional fans of the Windows, the Microsoft system. But, after all, which is better?

macOS and Windows are operating systems. widely used and both have their pros and cons. In terms of antique, Apple software win the race for just a few months, having been released, in its first version, in November 1984. On the other hand, in terms of users, Windows is leader, being present in about 80% of equipment.

Moving on to the more technical details, and talking specifically about interface, macOS seems to be preferred: Apple's operating system is considered, by most users, to be more elegant and intuitive than the Microsoft system. macOS is known for its appearance more clean and minimalist, with well-designed icons and clear fonts. Your main menu, the Dock, it is located, by default, at the bottom of the screen and is easily customizable. On the other hand, Windows offers more control over overall appearance to the user, which may include, for example, widgets on the main screen and other types of quick access elements. However, it is important to mention that, with the launch of Windows 11, Microsoft seems to follow the minimalist trend and also “simplify” your toolbar, getting closer to the most clean already mentioned from macOS.

Moving forward into the field of security, there is no doubt that Microsoft has strived in recent years to improve the Windows Defender, your software's default antivirus. Still, the safer reputation attributed to macOS is undeniable; Apple software has a well-developed security architecture and policies, which means that this system is much less targeted by malware and viruses. Additionally, Apple has a history of regular security updates to fix any type of vulnerabilities.

As for the compatibility, the Windows is clearly the winner of the category. The macOS, despite being compatible with most popular applications, has a catalog that is significantly inferior to that of Microsoft's system. The Windows has a much larger software library and it is easier to find certain products, such as games and niche products.

Finally, a central aspect of any operating system is its performance. In general, for day-to-day use, macOS is known for being faster, which is also observed in intensive computing tasks, such as video or photo editing and rendering. However, Windows stands out in tasks that require a lot of CPU, such as games, where Microsoft's operating system is chosen due to its speed and support.
