    Yes and no. MacOS is basically the year of the Unix desktop for a while now and it’s still powerful and user friendly. Just fire up a terminal and it’s Unix. The benefit they have is hardware control so stuff just works and no driver hardware issues etc…

      I agree. Linux is great when one has the time but not the money.

      However for a system that just works - MacOS is one of the best bsd distros of all time esp on arm.

      Sadly MacOS also comes with the downfalls of a closed and proprietary ecosystem.
