Simple Tasks on Windows Vs macOS #shorts

How simple, everyday tasks differ between Windows and mac OS.

THERE WAS A SHORTCUT FOR SCREENSHOTS???? I just pressed print screen and pasted that into Paint my entire life 💀

[junilog]

I have never refreshed or seen anyone do it on Mac, while on Windows I would spam F5 just for fun

[MrAlexsfs]

There is a built-in setting in Windows that binds PrtScn to the snipping tool.
On Windows 10 it’s: Settings -> Ease of Access -> Keyboard -> Print screen shortcut.
On Windows 11 it’s: Settings -> Accessibility -> Keyboard -> On-screen keyboard, access keys, and Print screen.

Meanwhile Linux: *user configurable noises intensifies*

Windows shortcut for photo : windows + Shift + S, exactly the same as mac os

[_fantasizing_]

The Mac OS screenshot exists for windows 10 too. It's win+shift+s

[Vandueren]

Why is “desktop needs to be refreshed” a thing?

[iansarmiento]

Note for any Microsoft Surface Pro users: to take a screenshot, press the function key, windows key and the space bar all at the same time.

imagine making this video and putting a work around for command+X

[benceszentivanyi]

Ctrl + Option + Right click on the Finder icon, then click Relaunch. It's much faster.

[Jagilsdorf]

Mac:
Option click finder -> relaunch

Also, screenshots have 3 different functions,
You mentioned CMD+Shift+3, but substitute the 3 for a 4 or a 5 and you have separate GUI’s to interact with.

Windows+shift+S is a shortcut for “snip and sketch” the new version of the snipping tool

[CatchtroutGD]

On Mac you can also press Shift+Command+5, press options, and here you can can change the file location for the screenshot you just took. It is not limited to the desktop.

[AMIRBENDABI]

In my lifetime owning a mac I never had to refresh the desktop.

[gljames]

On Linux(Gnome) you can click prtsc to take a screenshot, shift prtsc to for a rectangular selection, alt for the current window, and adding ctrl will save it to the clipboard otherwise it will save it to the Pictures folder by default.

[hajjdawood]

The mac screenshot feature also has a built in screen recorder and you can set all the defaults including where it is saved via COMMAND SHIFT 5

[speedyfox]

Linux users be like:
$ scrot

$ pkill xorg ; xinit

[toperaheem]

You Know what i Love about windows, you never stop learning new shortcuts

[pskal]

In Mac OS, you don’t need to reload the Finder.

Finally a comparison that is actually useful
