Windows has terrible security.. nothing is containerized so apps can easily steal your data and send it god knows where. Also it's a mess, after long enough a Windows install becomes unusable. The way the whole OS works is so outdated. Unix based Operating System are so much more reliable and almost always offer better long term performance.

If you genuinely care about security you wouldn't use macs either. Apple is not only proprietary, but keeps encryption keys of all your products and can lock/unlock them at any time they want. Not to mention the encryption level of their most popular products like their messenger and icloud is rudimentary. And dont forget apple was directly apart of the PRISM documents and works alongside the NSA to keep backdoors into their products for easy NSA access. these backdoors dont exist in a bubble and can be abused by hackers if they wanted to.

I always use Cent OS or Qubes OS when I'm doing some thing that makes me concerned about security. Mac OS (all Unix OSes) gives you more control over security than Windows was all I was really saying,

Windows give you no controls that are universal for Screen Sharing settings and keylogging. The level of security you get with Apple products isn't anything Incredible there are versions of Linux & FreeBSD that are much better but Mac OS has way more App support.

A lot of Apps only run easily on Mac OS or Windows unfortunately and I'd rather use Mac OS over Windows. We live in a world where people really only focus on two OSes so for a lot of stuff you are forced to run one of the main OSes.

Yeah I don't use iMessage cause I don't use an iPhone, I try to use Signal but tons of people ik refuse to use anything besides SMS lol. Yeah Apple definitely isn't as privacy friendly as they claim. When their Servers slowed down during the Big Surr update some of my App Store apps wouldn't launch cause they were trying to check with Apples Servers.. Mac OS sends the Data of what Apps you use and when your computers turns on 24/7.

I agree, there is more opions for security on Mac than Windows. I was talking with Linux in mind, because i use Artix for my main workloads, but I'll admit the unix philosophy does allow for greater control and protects permissions from being abused. I guess its more of an issue with those permissions being closed rather than open source, but i feel you understand that so yknow lol

1 AMD 5950x
4 6900xt
8 PCIE4 Samsung NVme Drives in RAID 0 for a theoretical speed of 70gbps
1600w PSU

wouldn't be faster than a Dual Xeon Pro but you could get a 64 core Threadripper and beat it in Multicore CPU perfomance

here are some benchmarks of the $7000 Mac Pro vs a $2000 CPU you can build a $3200 Hackintosh with

https://gadgetversus.com/processor/amd-ryzen-threadripper-3990x-vs-dual-intel-xeon-platinum-8280/
look the single AMD chips beats the 2 Intel chips while using far less power
the Mac Pro isn't that great until Apple can get their own Chip in it

anything Intel in 2020-21 is outdated Tech at this point
