Having to pay for online multiplayer is the reason I gave up on consoles even though I prefer using a controller and playing on a TV. Thankfully these days it's easy to connect your PC to a TV and a controller. Still though I really thought consoles would get rid of this requirement. Last time I was online on a console in 2017 or so a lot of the multiplayer lobbies were dead unless it was a major title. It's insane to me they are doubling down on this scam.
The UI was just a basic *nix WM. Nothing wrong with that, but OS 9 and under were trash operating systems. There's a reason they scrapped the kernel, then forked FreeBSD and called it OS X. Apple was in such dire straits in the 90's that they had to partner up with the government to sell Macs, which is why they were so prevalent in the education system. It wasn't until their image rebrand around the time of iPod and OS X where people started taking them seriously. Sure there is some great professional studio software on it, but the point still remains that it's a needlessly walled garden- one that is still essentially a BSD kernel once you strip away the gleam and glam.
I won't lie though, their desktop build quality is fantastic, but don't mention their laptops. If you like the premium for environment, more power to you.
Troubleshooting your Microshit install shouldn't be difficult to diagnose and solve. I'm going to assume video driver? That's the most commonly screwed up. Try a complete display driver uninstaller (DDU) and reinstall fresh.
