You see how dumb MacOS Is? They don't even tell you what generation your processor is.

Just the thought of MacOS makes some people barf. MacOS in general is based on the much better operating system Linux, but instead of a good, nice operating system like Linux, Apple turned MacOS into a “you can’t see this” operating system where Apple thinks you’re not a computer nerd and don’t care about what stuff is on your computer.
Warning: If you are switching to MacOS from Windows, then you will find it very infuriating and will want to return to windows. The biggest problem with MacOS is that it’s not user-friendly enough. I mean, what kind of operating system doesn’t show you what generation your Intel core processor is? Well, I guess they don’t want you to know that because they don’t think that’s very normal.
Finder is the file manager for MacOS. If you’re new to MacOS and have just come off of another normal operating system, then you’re going to be surprised that you cannot find some kind of File Manager. Instead, there’s Finder, the most annoying application in the world. And I should have known that managing files was going to be a disaster on MacOS.
With a horrible file manager that’s not even named correctly, it makes it nearly impossible to make a perfect organization of your files. And you can’t even open a file without engaging rename mode. And it’s never like that with File Explorer or Nautilus. And hey, I wouldn’t say Nautilus is the Number 1 file manager in the world (although it’s still good) it way outnumbers Finder.
The next horrible thing in line of the many problems with MacOS is that the latest version of MacOS (Catalina) drops 32-bit support. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING, APPLE? 32-bit apps are somewhat important in the music industry. Instrument voices are all 32-bit. So what does apple expect you to do, stop using DAW software and never use your MacBook or iMac to play or create music again? Apple’s really done it this time. Downloading a 32-bit piano voice turns into a whole series of steps instead of (1) Go to the website where you can get the voice (2) Download it.
Then you have to go get a WINDOWS machine and install it and if your DAW software only supports 2 licenses, then you’re screwed. That’s the end of that 88-key piano you wanted to download on your MacBook. Oh well.
But you see, that’s the problem: Linux is one of the best operating systems out there, but almost no DAW software works on there. It supports 32-bit apps, it’s free, but it’s missing the most crucial part. Windows is not really the ideal choice, because (A) it costs money and (B) Some DAWs (and I mean only rarely) do not work on Windows (C) Windows can occasionally make you go crazy.
