Quit application/s on a Mac questions
I'm going to be getting an iMac in the next few months. I've been doing a bit of research on the Mac OS and I have read that unlike in Windows, when you press the red button on a Mac's window it closes the window only, and generally does not close that particular application for that window.
I was wondering if there is any need to quit (selecting quit from its menu) that particular application every time I would have finished using it, or finished using it for that day?
Also, if I just click the red button on the window, and do this with a lot of applications, would I start to have problems/issues occur with my Mac because of doing this?
It's just I'm finding it a bit confusing coming from Windows where when I click a window on there, it closes/quits that program.
Could you give me some instances/scenarios of when I would need to just click on the red button in the Mac's window?
And also some instances/scenarios of when I would need to quit (choosing quit from its menu)?
Thanks in advance.
