I switched over to m2 macbook pro from windows for my laptop (graphic design). It is nice to have a computer that can be trusted to just sleep. Its great to show up to a meeting with everything already running. Open the lid and everything is ready to show off and work on. However I do miss gaming, raytracing in blender and Autodesk Inventor. I add 3rd party software to get the functionality that I am missing.

5:10 right there with you! “Natural” scrolling is fine—even better—on a touchpad. But it’s completely bass ackward with a scrollwheel. To the point that since I’ve had to choose between awkward scrolling with my touchpad and awkward scrolling with mouse wheel, the #1 thing I do when setting up macOS is turn off “natural” scrolling.
This kind of coupling of things that are “obviously” [to me] likely to have disparate preferences within a single user is one of the things about recent macOS that is a constant annoyance. So a tool that lets me set touchpad scrolling to a “natural” direction while also have scrollwheel scrolling set to the “natural” direction (which is the opposite of what feels natural on a touchpad) is absolutely worth the money.
Another example: “smart quotes” and “smart dashes” used to be 2 separate settings in macOS. Which was great. Typing typographers quotes is a pain, and the only couple places I might want to avoid them—Terminal and BBEdit—don’t use [that part of] the macOS text engine. But typing proper dashes (– or —) has been stupid-easy on macOS since…System 6(? Maybe earlier?), so there’s no need to have the OS automagically type them for you. It’s arguably even easier to type – or — on iOS. Moreover, there are not-uncommon reasons to type -- and actually mean --, not —, so turning on smart dashes isn’t just unnecessary, it actually gets in my way. So I have to choose whether to have proper quotation marks and also have to jump through hoops any time I want to type multiple hyphens, or have easy access to hyphens and dashes but then have to remember to manually type proper quotation marks (fairly easy on iOS; kinda annoying on macOS). Depending on OS version, you might or might not be able to turn on smart punctuation and then use a text substitution to override turning two hyphens into an em-dash. It has gone back and forth since they consolidated smart dashes and smart quotes. Currently, I’m stuck with em-dashes on iOS (without some serious hoop-jumping), and macOS overrides my text substitution but if I’m paying attention I can ⌘-Z it.
And none of this is because either option is inherently “good” or “bad”—it’s entirely because the options for two different settings are linked, and I argue that since it’s easy to type proper dashes and kinda tricky to type proper quotation marks, one should expect there to be a group of people who want automated help with the latter but not the former.

To add to the multiple display issues, Apple's hardware could support DisplayPort MST, but they don't do it in software. If you put Windows on an Intel MacBook it works, macOS, nope. DisplayPort MST is the tech used by most docks to support multiple displays over 1 USB-C or thunderbolt connection.

(5:15) As a Windows user, the worst about this scrolling thing is when software reverses it. "It's the Mac way", yes but I'm on Windows.
Adobe actually has this issue with horizontal scrolling. The vertical scrolling is correct, but if you have a mouse you can push to the right to scroll right, Adobe scrolls left. Very annoying.

My gripes are the window snapping that the video started with, and one that this video doesn't contain: multi-window programs (such as multiple chrome windows) are a single item in the Mac version of the alt+tab box. So, alt+tabbing to that browser opens up every window of the browser at once, even when I actually want to open a specific one of them and keep the previously focused window still in view.

I use both and it's nice to see these issues being mentioned. You can't mention flaws with Macs in other spaces as people always defend them blindly. Macs have so many issues and "don't just work"
Worst issue for me is no confirmation on changing display settings!
I changed my MBP to 100Hz on my external monitor which the MBP couldn't handle - no output (monitor, cable and dock can do this as another laptop handles it fine)...
Anyway, you can't change it back to settings that work as changing display setting in MacOS is final... and the display settings for given monitor ONLY appear on given monitor. The ONLY way to fix was to VNC (screen share) to change the settings back. Too way too long to t-shoot that one! Even apple support failed to fix it and only offered OS wipe as solution.
Another crappy issue is not being able disable sound devices AT ALL.
Also you can't output audio to multiple Bluetooth devices.
Apple have so many issues to fix.

Here's another one- try to set 8 bit color on a 10 bit color capable monitor. I was trying to do this to save some bandwidth to increase my refresh rate or resolution. I spent a day trying to accomplish that only to find out they deprecated the ability to set color depth manually back in the early 2010s.

That's what I love about the KDE desktop: Although you might feel occasionally overwhelmed by the options, I can make it look and behave like I want it to. Not to mention that even a 12-15 years old computer can still have a nice looking and snappily behaving desktop. If you value sustainability in technology, that's a great feature.

The issue with multi-monitors is such a big issue with MacOS. I can't believe how poor the support is for such a vital feature that a lot of users have to rely on, on a daily basis.
