I was thinking of moving from an Apple computer to a PC, but after hearing the horrendous stories of automatic updates being conducted, and the problems they can create, I decided to stay with Apple, because at least you have the option of doing updates when you want to, or not at all. My oldest son was an Apple user. He's the one who got me started on them, but his graphic designer, and videographer jobs over the years have forced him to use PC's. He also didn't like Apple's restricting the use of third party apps. That wasn't a problem for me since I don't use any of them anyway.
In his leisure time, he creates mods for Fallout 4, strictly for PC's. He uploads the mods online so people can download them, and use them in the game. He also live streams from his channel on YouTube. At home, he uses Linux, but there are times he has to use Windows, and there have been a few times when after setting a mod to upload, he later discovers that the upload was never completed because Microsoft/Windows had forced an update.
While I get irritated sometimes with the updates Apple recommends, I have a MacBook Pro from 2011, which has High Sierra on it, so certain updates take a bit of time to process, and I always hold my breath while they're being done. My son told me a long time ago, not to immediately jump on updates, and do them...but instead to wait, because there may end up being glitches that could mess up your computer. I've stuck to that plan over the past at least 30 years that I've owned Macs, and have never had a problem.
“He also didn’t like Apple’s restricting the use of third party apps. “
I work in Hollywood, especially post production. Believe it or not, I know a LOT of independent special effects and post production guys moved to Windows because the apps are too expensive and correct, restrictive.
As a matter of fact, some of the 1 year old Macbooks graphics cards CANNOT compete with the newer graphics and memory chips out there on Windows laptops.
