I have done most of my contests using a 2015 MacBook Pro, and my experience, for the most part, was not as enjoyable as when I did contests using my Windows PC. I saw that my Mac compiled using C++98, even though my gcc compiler was up to date, so I could not use stuff like range-based loop, auto, etc in my code. I got used to it, but recently I started looking for a fix again, and luckily I was able to do it.
