> Do Macs not "work"?

Not even close to as well as iPhones do.

Speaking from personal experience I've had a few apps crash on my phone for sure, but overall it's the most "solid" computing experience I have ever had outside of Solaris.

MacOS on the other hand? Frequently gets itself into a state where "WindowServer" is consuming half my memory, or some network kerfuffle stops me being able to reach anything for a few minutes, or it kernel panics.

Not to mention the bloody updates which unlink GCC/CLANG but kinda keep it around which means I have to go clean my drive manually and crap. Ugh, exhausting.

Sometimes I consider going back to linux for work honestly.

They work fine, as long as you never update them within 3 weeks of a new OS release.

And if Apple's authentication servers are up.

Using them at work is a blessing and a curse.

Not without various third-party adapters. Even then it's not a given that peripherals will work, or work consistently.
