Mac still locks up with frozen applications. I hate it
Yeah, MacOS has way more bugs than Windows 10. It's kind of hard to believe that it has been this bad for the past several years. They keep pushing features, but they need a 1-2 year pause on features to fix the existing features they have.
I agree and it's very weird to say that. The appeal of Mac when I was a kid was that it didn't have issues and I got blue screens on windows XP very often.
Now it seems the opposite. I've had my Mac entirely lock up because an application froze twice this month, but the last blue screen I had in windows was because I over clocked my RAM. I don't think I've had an issue other than that since Windows 7 released.
I've had the exact opposite experience. Have never had an app freeze my Mac but my windows computer freezes up at least once a week. Using both for work so similar loads but I guess it's possible some of my work software is dodgy on the windows. Still probably shouldn't lock up like that so frequently.
I must be lucky with windows then.
It's kind of ridiculous that either one can lock up due to a bad application though. Feels like lately it's been almost as bad as the XP and beach ball of death days.
I guess it's just really hard to make an operating system. My work Mac also isn't completely devoid of its own issues. Sometimes moving the mouse can be a bit laggy which is frustrating because I also have a personal Mac that's not laggy, so again probably the work software.
Absolutely agree it's ridiculous that modern hardware still sometimes chugs when it's thousands of times more powerful than what we had back in the day.
