Its been a decade since I had a Mac, but it definitely gave me that uncanny valley feeling. So close that you start expecting certain behaviour.

Windows and WSL feels better to me at least.



Indeed, I've been Linux-only for a bit over 10 years now, and when I have to do some work on a Windows or Mac for work, Windows with WSL feels a lot better than modern macos. You'll encounter the occasional alien thing when Windows details leak through, but for the most part it just behaves like you expect. If I had to pick a mac or windows pc for daily driver, Windows would be an easy choice now (although as coming of age in the 90s when MS was evil, it's mind-blowing to hear me say this all!)


I'm genuinely interested in understanding this "uncanny valley feeling" you've experienced. Could you elaborate a bit on it?
