41 Simple Tasks on Windows vs. MacOS 

you missed something, windows 11 still has Cortana which sucks but works.

its discontinued and doesnt work​@@YodaComedy

@@cookies5129 It works, but it is discontinued

What about Windows 10 vs MacOS, it has many of the missing features in Windows 11.

Windows actually has that cool window snapping feature patented so Apple can't really implement it in that way. However There Are many third-Party apps like Rectangle and Magnet which includes window snapping and much more customization options

True! I was quite surprised when I found out…

microsoft actually intentionally patched taskbar movement using the registry editor in 22H2, so it’s probably not happening

if its registry you could just easyli edit it to bring back that feature @@43021

@@43021 no clue why they keep removing the amount of stuff you can do with windows

Things like document preview can be done on Windows too, but it does require an app, being either the MS Power Toys or a third party one. You can choose which functionality you want to enable and can define most shortcuts to functions in PowerToys freely. PowerToys can also do many other things, like reconfiguring your keyboard's key layout; just be careful if you move keys around, as you can end up losing access to some key(s) on your keyboard. Trying to swap two keys and forgetting to redefine both of them is not good...

Yep, 100% true, I'm genuinely positively overwhelmed and incredibly thankful for all these kind comments! Motivates me to keep producing videos! Thanks!

But it makes one wondering what is the point of making really well edited videos if no one seems to care about their content? 😉

@@AlexandruBurda How is it possible that 90% of the comments talk about the editing and montage but not about the video itself? 🤔 All his other videos have the same comment section...

i love windows cus it's 1 step closer to installing Linux (i don't have to jailbreak)

I was laughing the entire time 😂

Just started this video and it's already funny how he says windows file Explorer is overpowered. Bro has never used dolphin I bet.

@@emileross well mac is closer to linux as they are both somewhat unix like while windows is completelly different beast

​​@@netkv not even close. "Technically Unix" is all you'll ever get. MacOS as close to Linux as android is. But the way it's used makes it very different from Linux. Windows will be closer in terms of usability or workflow when it comes to Linux

Thank you man, that's super motivating!

He is very biased, He mentions that you can change settings to get more customization out of macos by default, but doesn't mention the same thing for windows.

@@MegaLokoposame with the time machine when windows also has recovery

@@MegaLokopo Hey, but I did the same for some Windows features - like the clipboard history, color themes, etc. which are also not settings enabled by default, and macOS completely lacks. I tried to make it as unbiased as possible, but it's hard to remember and think of every possible feature/customization option on both systems. There's definitely room for improvement and I missed some essential features (and luckily people mentioned them in the comments!), but I really tried to make it as unbiased as possible. Thank you for watching!

@@9tr0nthe Windows recovery point is a piece of shh

Thank you for the great feedback!

Yes. I noticed the Steve Jobs black.

Frrrr. Like the concepts of the video are simple, but if you need to change, these simple info is game changing

Thanks for the high praise guys 😊 Made my day!

Get to advertising/promoting him! 😂

true

3 weeks full of work 😅 So thank you for your kind words, that‘s truly motivating!

@@macvince The Effort you made on this video is awesome and you earned my respect and a subscriber.😊

Glad you liked the idea :)

Danke dir, Johannes! I appreciate the great and helpful feedback :)

Same for search (kinda)

Yep. And for Spotlight, there's PowerToys Search

ya it is already in the windows by preview

alt+p also works

It's called preview, and you can preview most of yhe files, compy texts in word, xls, ppt, pds without opening it.

Thank you for watching and the great feedback! :)

Cortana won't work anymore because Windows now has new AI assistant "Windows Copilot"

Cortana is gone mate

Cortana was in windows 10. It doesn't even work anymore in 10 because it's gone

@@joel_subash copilot was also shut down, pretty ironic

Same for the new voice access

I'd like to genuinely thank you for your kind words! Super motivating!

Even though he does not like it, I highly suggest using your applications in full-screen mode. Since I have switched to macOS, I have gone down from three to only one monitor, which works very very well for me. Now, I can simply switch between applications when they are in full-screen just like I would on my iPad or iPhone. I stay a lot more focused too as I'm not getting distracted by any apps I'm currently not working with. Furthermore, when you need to work with two applications at the same time, just put them into full-screen split view or if it needs to go fast, leave them on your desktop as a window. For small tasks, I only use windows, for example quickly looking through the Finder or checking a password in 1Password, but Safari is always in full screen, just like my code editor and applications that I'm working on more than just a few minutes. It works very well for me, so, it might work for you too

@@dnvylCtrl windows d Ctrl windows right arrow Ctrl windows left arrow Ctrl windows f4

​@@SOTP. Yes, I know you can use multiple desktops on Windows, but these are no replacements for fullscreen applications. Plus, it's not the intended way on Windows. This becomes clear when you compare both systems. On macOS, the maximize button will put a window into fullscreen mode and therefore open it in a new space (virtual desktop but not really a virtual desktop). You can also toggle the fullscreen mode of any application by clicking Ctrl + Cmd + F or Fn + F. Switching between them becomes also very easy with the trackpad. This is not the case on Windows. On Windows, maximizing a window will maximize it on the same desktop, so you would need to manually move it to another virtual desktop to have the same effect. Windows just added virtual desktops as a feature to organize windows for certain situations, for example, to have one desktop for work and one for personal stuff. You can do this on macOS as well, but mostly you use spaces (virtual desktops) for fullscreen or split-screen applications and that's where macOS excels compared to Windows. That's also the reason why I switched from three to only one monitor. Because spaces are designed to be used on a single monitor. Working with a MacBook without any external monitors works so great because of this. Windows accepts more use cases, but macOS is far better for laptops

@@SOTP. 🤓

This truly means a lot to me! Thank you 😊

Thanks a ton!

Yay, thank you so much! That's amazing feedback, super motivating 😊

Thank you so much for watching another one and leaving such kind words! Yep, this was the most difficult video I've ever made, so your words mean a lot :)

Thanks again, man! True, there are tons of apps bringing the lacking features to the Mac.

Much appreciated! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my video ideas note!

Linux can do all this, some things even better, but there are so many different distributions and tools, it would be unfair to choose just one to compare

@@kaktus9414 more likely to compare different Desktop Environments as actual Distros. But yeah, it would be quite interesting to see them in comparison against Mac or Windows.

No, he shouldn't do Ubuntu. It shouldn't be advertised. Would be better with something like mint

Ubuntu is not a good example of how good Linux can be. The workflow of something like arch with KDE plasma is what we should be advertising as Linux users lol

Thank you so much for the high praise and motivating words! 😊

Thank you! I use Final Cut :)

Amazing! Glad you liked the new video - and enjoy your new Mac! Thanks for your great feedback :)

Man, thank you so much for your kind words and support, I really appreciate that!

Anytime mate 😁

Thank you man 😊 I appreciate the great feedback!

Man, you're 100% right. totally forgot to mention this - probably one of the most important multitasking features Windows offers. So thank you for filling the gap - and for the great feedback!

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the kind words and your support! 😊

Huge thanks!

Thanks man, I genuinely appreciate your kind words 😊

14 million views would be a great start, but currently, my hourly wage is way below minimum :D The passion keeps me going, though 😅

​@@macvincetry using your YB channel as a portfolio to do content creation as a freelance on Upwork, your skills are top notch

I think you had so many mistakes and you don’t know how to use either operating system. I have to dislike it. Window snapping came in windows vista. You can have tabs on finder etc. not gonna waste my time on someone that doesn’t know what even a computer is. Your channel sucks

@@macvinceI hope your hourly wage stays below the minimum wage. Worst video I’ve ever seen

​@@taavi948 I hope you're joking

Thank you for the great feedback! yep, his editing style is amazing.

Thank you so much! 😊 Really motivates me to keep going!

Thank you 🙏

Thanks for mentioning it! Super useful!

Thanks for the kind words, that's great to hear, especially succeeding in making it as unbiased as possible!

mrwhosetheboss

That's great to hear, thank you man 😊

sure.. but isnt it just only previewing inside the file explorer not a seperated window, and you still can't do much there.

Thanks for mentioning it, that's good to know!

Don't forget about the new file preview feature in powertoys, just like with MacOS!

Nobody cares Linux for desktop 🙄

Hey, thank you again! Always happy to see you in the comments. And I appreciate the suggestions, that's an interesting idea I haven't really thought about yet. It's already in my Notes app - sounds like it could be a great video :)

Awesome! Thank you!

Wow, THANK YOU! Really glad you enjoy my videos this much 😊 Made my day!

@@macvince well deserved. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Italy 👋

Good point! It's crazy that it has so little marketshare... Thanks for watching, Cassius!

Licensing MacOS to other manufacturers like HP or Dell would ultimately ruin its reputation. Yeah, 256GB of storage on the baseline MacBooks today is a joke - but it is incredibly fast storage, exactly enabling the File Preview and Spotlight Search functions to perform so effortlessly fast. MacOS experience is polished precisely because it is curated; and if it isn't curated by Apple themselves anymore, then the quality would drop tremendously. Just look at how many laptops manufacturers like Asus, Acer and Lenovo churn out every year... I reckon that many models per year just create gargantuan amounts of e-waste nobody is talking about.

cortana was deprecated

That is very handy. The cool and the worse part about Apple, there are so many hidden features

Much appreciated!

Interesting! Thanks for mentioning it!

How can such a trivial software feature be patented?

​@@jblbasstester6198because it is useful, and was just implemented on Aero Snap during Vista development. It was something simple, but very useful, so they patented. No other OS at the time, had the feature, neither XP or Linux. They can patent anything they want. Patent No. 9,423,923, 9,423,938, and 9,423,954 by MS was filled many years ago.

@@jblbasstester6198it’s the same as live saving medication that can be patented and to be honest you can live with non snapping windows but not without your medication.

Remember swipe to unlock on iOS?​@@jblbasstester6198

Wow, thanks for leaving such kind words! That's super good to hear :)

Imho Gnome Shell is the best of both worlds, especially when it comes to Nautilus as the File Manager; and when Gnome Shell would still support the Global Menu Bar it could be easily be mistaken for macOS.

So like, Zorin OS, Pop!_OS, and elementaryOS?

or does elementary use Pantheon...

I appreciate the great and helpful feedback! The "greenscreening" is actually AI rotoscoping, and blurring the background - but you're 100% right, I wasn't really happy how this one turned out either. And thanks for mentioning those features - although I'm researching days before even writing the scripts for my videos, there's always something I forget - so comments like yours really help fill the gap! I'll catch you in the next video!

Super grateful for your feedback, thanks! 😊

It shows that at what speed that was traveling at.

Good point. It's hard to include every single feature, so comments like yours help fill the gap. Thanks!

ok nerd

Can't do anything expect laughing anyway

Super funny... Until you need to do, like, anything other than fap to waifus.😂😂😂

Laugh at what? That you don’t have no support for games? Or that drivers suck ass on Linux? Or that you need a f*king degree to set it up? Linux suck’s and thats the truth.

Linux is not developed for user friendly. But linux can do what windows and mac does with several extra preparation. So... Yeah. I already sound like a nerd 🤓

Means the world to me! Thanks! True, time machine is quite a funny name haha

Thank you for leaving such motivating words - and thank you for subscribing :)

Thank you :) Super motivating!

Thanks a ton! 😊

Thank you, glad you liked the side-by-side comparison!

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that!

Big thanks :)

I'd like to genuinely thank you for your kind words! Super motivating! 😊

Thanks!! Glad the video was helpful and enjoyable at the same time.

Man, your comment genuinely made my day. Thank you for taking the time to not only watch my video, but also leaving such kind words, subscribing to the channel and even sharing it! That‘s more than I could ever ask for 😊 super motivating! I‘ll see you in the next one!

8:15 though apple's magic keyboard contains the delete key, and it has a function of forward deleting?

Thank you for the great feedback and welcome to the channel! 😊 And you're right, the extended/complete magic keyboards have a Delete key, but MacBooks and the smaller Magic Keyboards don't...

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for recognizing the weeks of work that go into these videos :) Means a lot 😊

Whoa, thanks!

Thank you so much 😀

@@macvince You are most welcome 🤗
