I have, we're a multi-OS houshold. Linux, Steam Deck, Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android.
Different tools for different purposes. You wouldn't have just one kind of screwdriver, right?
I get having Linux and Windows, after all you need a backup solution for when you can't use Linux. But why do you also have a Mac?
Then I guess iOS makes sense if you have a Mac, but why also have Android?
Linux = Freedom, customizability MacOS = Usability Windows = ???
Windows for interoperability.
Try job hunting without a Windows machine. Good luck!
(My wife hates it when she hits websites that don't work properly and starts swearing, then I ask "Are you using a real browser or just Safari?" - "FUCK YOU!" Somehow we're still married. 😀)
Firefox with user agent switcher extension. Problem solved.
I don't have any problem job hunting on a Linux box. Why would that matter?
Quite a lot of job portals are not only Windows dependent, they can even be I.E./Edge dependent.
I used to do web development, Safari is honestly worse then IE6
It's godawful, so many things don't work in Safari and it's because Apple can't stand other people coming up with "standards". :)
Can you fullscreen windows under MacOS yet?
Unless I misunderstand, you've been able to do that since around 2011.
M4 Mac user here happy to shed some light onto this. It's actually super intuitive: "Full screen" on Mac means the current App window becomes a new temporary virtual desktop, which is placed after your normal virtual desktops. It also turns off the status bar / app menu, although you don't get that screen space back because of the camera notch, it's just blacked out.
Note that how many virtual desktops you have and which one is selected is specific to each display. So if you like multitasking, it really helps if you're good at remembering all of them in the correct order including any fullscreen apps and the display they're on. And I hope you don't mind performing the same swiping gesture multiple times to get back to your fullscreen app. Also you can't move it between displays.
You might just want to maximize your app window instead. Though you do need third-party software to do that.
I wish I was kidding about any of this.
I don't even know whether I understand I just hear MacOS users griping about fullscreen, and a quick google gave quite recent results. Especially with fullscreen being incompatible with other windows on top (each fullscreen window necessary is on its own workspace) which would be highly annoying in Blender. You can configure blender to have file open dialogues, render results etc. in its main window, but certain stuff like preferences always open a second one.
