    Apple spent decades perfecting their hardware production while Microsoft relied on third party sellers to create devices that would run Windows. Why would you expect their hardware to be comparable at this point? They’re primarily a software company and their software is also bad

      I don’t think third party hardware is even a good excuse for Microsoft. Like sure, they’re working with third parties on hardware for the most part, but most of the manufacturers are targeting their software.

      Meanwhile most linux distros and desktops will run fine on 4 gigs, and they’re doing most of the work to get their stuff compatible with the hard wear.

      Even when Apple was running on intel chips, they were still way better about resource usage than Microsoft was.

      I think Microsoft is just… really bad at making an OS because they’ve been coasting on being the default for so long that they didn’t have to care about optimization, manufacturers were just obligated to target what ever bloat-wear they put out.
