[1/3] So, with Windows 10 machines that are plugged into the internet (which you should never do, but if you want to have a gaming PC), I have now _twice_ seen machines that go to sleep and will not wake up without a full power drain.

@cmuratori Is there an alternative for gamedevs? Unless Apple stops pricing their machines with absurd values I really don't think I can choose, and that's bad. -
Linux? Most major game Dev tools run on it now. Elementary is quite good if your not used to dealing with Linux in general. https://elementary.io/

As a musician it's what drove me to Macs a few years ago. I used to build my PCs myself, Win 95 to Win 7, I never not had this problem + many others. As someone always on deadlines music software is awful enough, I couldn't have the OS constantly play against me at random times.

Not that I particularly like Apple but ffs when I ask my Mac to power off is just does. When some app hangs and I kill it, it just kills it successfully and frees the RAM. When I wake it up, it wakes up. These 3 things have been too much to ask of Windows reliably since forever.

I still run Windows 7. Also using Word 2010 for my book, after a new version crashed a couple times. I wonder if we are past "peak software," and it's just not going to get better.

If it makes you feel any better, OSX on 2019 MacBook Pro also likes to pull this kind of nonsense.

In fact it's been a disaster for so long... Peak Windows was probably the middle land between Windows 2000 and Windows XP, although I remember my face when reading the recommended requirements and all the stupid, stupid stuff that shipped with XP. Then Vista, 7, etc, came.

If Microsoft wants to survive as a leading provider of operating systems they really, really need to trim down the complexity of Windows. The average person is already sick of them and prefers to use instead the small hand computers we call for some reason "smartphones".
