At least OS X has modern architecture. Who the fuck wants to run a system that's over 2 decades old?

Hey, I hear good things about dx12, and there are plenty of libraries on Windows that are better than on other OSs, it's just that whole closed source locked in platform that I dislike

    it's just that whole closed source

So basically you dislike anything but linux :P.

Nah, I'm just giving it a hard time. Windows is alright. It's old as fuck and has legacy support for pretty much any software under the sun. Apple decided to take the other route, scrap all support for a fresh-reboot with a more modern architecture.

You'd be surprised at how little you (or at least me) miss when you actually switch over. I think the biggest thing is certain enterprise software and games. That's pretty much it.

I'm willing to be a cuck, but it requires the closed system be worth it, and even then being open is always better for the software
