I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.

    Nope, you can run winass on worse Mashines than mac, however i still think its incredibly wasteful with resources, but its both of them.

      I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.

        Windows runs like ass on the Mx Chips in general.

        Apple Software runs good on Apple hardware, yes its way better optimized and made for each other than the Microsoft surface products for example. Doesn’t mean Apple Software runs resource efficiently in general.

        But don’t get me wrong, i hate windows more than Apple software, but thats mostly because im forced to work with windows.

          You’ve clearly never run hackintosh. MacOS runs better than Windows even on PCs not made by Apple. The difference is especially obvious on Laptops, where MacOS gets almost as much battery life as Linux, whilst Windows barely gets about 2/3rds as much
