      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

      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.

    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.

    I don’t understand the hate for MacOS or Ubuntu frankly. Windows was fine until they stopped making “features” opt in. Fedora has been toying with adding AI, and my experiences with Arch have been subpar for my needs. I’m kinda at the point in my life where I don’t care as long as the OS works. They’re all so similar at the end of the day, they help me do the websites, work tools and vidya gaems.
