I still find it quite ironic that the hand me down and hand me down again imac (Maybe five or six years old) my son is using is more usable and faster as a Windows 10 machine than it is when running it's native MacOS. Boot camp has been in windows mode for months.
I detest Apples ringfencing habits and further habit of deciding what they think you will do with the machine and making some things they don't think you need to do almost impossible. Ever tried to turn off scroll wheel acceleration on a modern Mac? Basically not possible to do, it makes sense and works well so long as like stroking the back of the not so "Magic" mouse to scroll. Get the irrits with that and plug in a traditional mouse and scrolling becomes click click click at one line at a time, and when you speed up a little the acceleration factor takes over and half the page flashes by! I gave MacOS the flick on that machine for Bootcamp/Windows as I was doing a lot of word processor type work and the not very magic mouse ran out of magic altogether and navigating docs (Or web pages) was a horrible experience as a result of needing to use a PC mouse. When it becomes too slow for the young bloke to tolerate I will buy a monitor and strap an Intel NUC of decent spec to the back of it.
Windows 10 or Ubuntu thanks. If the capture, stacking and post software I was using was ported to Linux, it would be just Ubuntu thanks..
