I'm glad I've never taken him very seriously, because he seems exhausting.

Guy who's apparently never worked on hardware or drivers has thoughts. Ok.

Fired IMMEDIATELY... what a Karen attitude.

He is in a pickle. He could solve his problems by using a Mac. Designed from the ground up in a uniform fashion instead of bolted on components from different vendors. Excellent sleep/wake support, none of this nonsense of switching graphics cards....but he is a game developer and so he is married to this platform called PC/Windows that is composed of competing interests, none of which care about the total user experience. I guess his only solution is to shout into the wind on Twitter and hope something will change (it wont).

Mac also has its issues just you are so used to it that you don't realize it anymore.

Like for me the Mac will sometimes randomly turn on from sleep like in the middle of the night. For updates or things like that.

When you have wireless mouse but probably any kind of mouse, just a slight move of it will wake the laptop from sleep.

When you have the fingerprint sensor equiped power button, the thing constantly mix up going to sleep because you push it but also waking up immediately because it sensed your finger print on top of the button. ...

My Linux machine only does GPU switching when I ask it to.

It's very much another Windows issue.
