One fine day you try to turn on your Mac and work on an important project, but instead of getting started normally, your Mac displays a black screen. However, being a machine, it does develop issues at times. and I don't have to deal with Microsoft telling me stuff like where I can and can't place my taskbar and what kind of widgets I can have (with most being ads lol).Mac machines are counted among the sturdiest systems available around the globe. I can have my cool transparency compositing effects back (even more in fact), AND a ui that is wayyyy more consistent with dark mode working almost everywhere. Once I switched to Linux I quickly realized KDE plasma is the solution to almost all of my problems here. I also absolutely hate that Microsoft ditched the beautiful aero theme in vista/7 for a boring, flat, corporate look that felt like a regression in every way and continued to neuter themeing more and more with each version of windows after 7 so it was harder and harder to get a ui like that back.
granted, win11 has actually improved this a fair bit it's still far from perfect.
the fact that the control panel and the settings still both need to exist (and have for the past 10+ years!) is ridiculous and a wonderful example of how much of a mess the ui is. dark mode is awful due to this and a lot of third party apps not respecting it. it's about 40% win10/11 acrylic/mica/whateverthefucktheyrecallingit uwp apps, 10% windows 8 metro design, and 50% win7 and previous design (with some apps virtually unchanged since fucking win9x). One of my biggest complaints with modern windows is that the ui is hot garbage. There are quite a few reasons but one of the biggest for me (and this is one I don't see talked about as much as I figured it would be) is the customization and UI.
