### Pros

"Some things are well designed for example the about this mac feature, the dock and the app store app. "

"I like that this is for ARM64 based processors, which, I think, are superior to Intel based processors."

"macOS is always protected against viruses and you don't usually need another antivirus to protect it unlike Windows."

### Cons

"Compatibility with 1-year old applications was shakey, and I had issues with FTP software and other brands."

"Settings such as multi monitor config, IPv6 settings etc are buried away and hard to configure."

"One issue I've noticed is that apps on Big Sur seem to become unresponsive slightly more frequently than on previous versions of macOS."
