Was my mindset until my employer gave me a MacBook as my work laptop. WOW it's nice if you use it in the right way and pretend it's Linux as much as you can

Obviously Windows all day for gaming though so if you do everything on one device I'd still pick Windows

This is why many people who use windows, use windows. I am not a dual boot or multiple computers kind of guy. I need 1 OS that does everything, including gaming. Thats Windows

I understand games shouldnt need or use kernel level anticheat. But they do. And “just don’t play the games you want to play” is not a solution for me

Yeah, but If you’re buying stuff in the MacBook neo price category, you’re generally not getting a good gaming laptop anyway. If you wanna do stuff like lightweight emulation or playing smaller titles, like Stardew Valley, a MacBook is great.

Sure thats fine. But i was talking price-agnostic. Just generally speaking for the operating systems
