Could always look at a hackintosh and have the best of both worlds?
I recently traded my trashcan xeon Mac Pro 2013 for a 10-core I9 hackintosh, 5500XT with 64Gb ram. Then gave it a month to see if everything was happy.
So far;
1) The machine is really quick. Really
2) It's been bulletproof with everything Ive thrown at it. Photoshop work, AfterFX, premiere, lots of video encoding. No crashes, nothing
3) I haven't updated the OS any, because past experience teaches me this -can- cause things to go bump and need some hackintosh kexts updating etc
4) I shut down now, rather than using sleep. With waking from sleep, sometimes drives wouldnt wake, but hadn't been unmounted properly. As such, Finder (Macs explorer) didnt like it.
So it's not perfect. But it has been a fucking good upgrade.
P.S. I dual-boot with a second NVME SSD to use Win10 if/when I need to.
Interesting thing is, Mac OS is so much cleaner when using multiple apps. If I work on AfterFX on mac, then open up media encoder, it opens in a moment. On Win 10 and do the same thing, the machine can be loading Media Encoder for 5-10 seconds before it opens. Crazy. Its the same hardware!!!!
