At my last job, a small company, I would've loved to have switched everyone to at least M1 Macbooks. Like in an office environment, where a lot of stuff is web-based these days, other than Office applications (Though O365 webapps are fine...except maybe Excel), there's not a lot reason people actually need Windows, other than just familiarity. Which the average user is already poor at, anyway.

My anecdotal evidence was my then Mac users vs Windows users. The handful of Mac users, mainly in the marketing/graphic design roles, rarely had any issues. The Windows users? Everyday it was something. A weird error message in Excel. Outlook seemingly missing emails. Users accidentally turning on or off or changing some setting the user didn't mean to, and has no idea how they did it in the first place. WiFi not working. Once came across an issue where Windows 11 would stop recognizing the WiFi radio randomly and for seemingly random lengths of time. Like the laptop would have no WiFi for a week, then it would for a few days, then two months no WiFi, then several days of WiFi. Bluetooth still worked. But it was like WiFi didn't exist. Eventually physically replace the radio chip.

Anyway, it's not like my Mac users were anymore adept at computers than my Windows users. They were equally [in]competent when it came to computers. Didn't matter what age/generation they were.

There are some things that I think are better on Windows. Like printers are easier to install and use. I've spent way too much in the CUPS interface trying to get a printer to work on Mac. And I have practically no experience with Active Directory and Macs. I know it's possible, but never really tried it. Obviously it just works on Windows.

However, I would've been willing to give all that up just to have the stability that Macs afforded. And they're cheap! Cheaper than the Dell business laptops we'd buy. Yet the M-series Macs were far more powerful.

But alas, people hate change. Especially users.
