      Hell, Mac OS is even a certified UNIX operating system, something that even Linux (or GNU+Linux) can’t say.

      It’s still a non-FOSS OS which is the real reason it sucks, but it’s a lot better than a lot of people seem to think. Whereas Windows just plain sucks on a usability level too, not just the licensing.

        I read a deep dive into the macos “certified UNIX” thing and it’s a scam. I dont remember the details but the certification is obtained only through a set of testing exceptions. The macos used by people is not the macos that is Unix certified.

        As a former macos user (2013-2024ish), macos has become IMO a very user hostile experience. It’s not quite as bad as windows, but macos is not the “user friendly, it (mostly) just works and gets out of your way” os it used to be.

        I’m full time Linux now and when I have to use macos or windows I cannot believe how user hostile they both are.

        Linux is far from perfect, but at least I control my system/os.

      On top of that, putting it below Windows? This is clearly someone who’s never used one or thinks gaming is the only thing you do on a computer. I’m all for Linux and use it in several places, but it has nothing on MacOS polish. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s a far cry from ChromeOS or Windows 11.

    Guys, MacOS isn’t everybody’s taste, especially now. But it does do what it’s trying to do. Windows isn’t succeeding at anything it’s trying to do.

      MacOS has no reason to exist.

      If you are ok running corporate software just use windows with its huge array of software and compatibility with pretty much everything.

      If you want to be cool and different and have problems with software and hardware compatibility run Linux.

      MacOS is the Porsche Panamera of operating systems. People just have it because it matches their 911/iThing

        That’ll do it. The work might be impressive, but why care about a project that has one purely spite-driven goal that makes no technical or social sense?

        It uses real init systems

        What a completely childish tagline. Even if there was any merit to all the systemd hate, calling it “not a real init system” is absurd.

        They stopped supporting GNOME based desktops and treat that in the most “sour grapes” way imaginable …

          I’ve seen systemd developers themselves say it’s not an init system [it’s more].

          And it’s more a matter of love, than “spite”, to support init-freedom.

          GNOME stopped supporting other init systems.
