You're thinking of iOS. Anyone can compile software for Mac OS without paying Apple one cent for it.

Except for the cents you have to spend to buy a Mac. But I never understood that objection, really. How are you going to develop software for a computer you don't have?

I think more specifically anything that goes in the app store.

What I don't get is why updates take so excruciatingly long when the system and data volumes are split up like this. Shouldn't it be as simple as doing a crc check on the system volume and then patching in a few hundred mb for the changes in the update? It should be like a 30 second process on any modern system with an ssd. But instead every minor update is a multi gigabyte download and it takes 30 minutes for even the tiniest security updates to be installed.

>>
>>102427724
Most of the things in this flowchart take milliseconds to complete. The "install to system volume" step is the only that's taking half an hour for no reason. It's like every update is overwriting the same files that are already on the disk for no reason, instead of just patching the new changes in.

>>102427724
reading the link practically says macOS is a stateless OS. nothing but updating it can change the base install, and your apps are totally separate.

direct opposite of lintroon approach where a random dependency can make your OS ack itself

It's reallly the best structure for a file system, I primarily use Windows.

>>102429472
actually they are, you can't play diablo 4 on a Mac, and there is talks of them dropping world of warcraft support on the Mac.

yet it justwerx xd, windows is the same (but it is shipped broken garbage)
but fedora atomic does what you describe and to an even more extreme degree
>>
>>102429506
Diablo IV is total dog shit, nu-blizzard is just incompetent. There's no way they drop WoW for Mac, they added native support for it shortly after M1. They're getting more, and better devs now than anything, look at Capcom and Kojima Productions. Either way, for games, yeah it's always been shit on Mac and probably always will be either way. Regular apps are not dropping support.

They even went as far as transition a lot of kernel extensions (Kexts) and to DriverKit which run in user space

It wasn't always this way. Before OSX developers had to pay a royalty to write for their desktop.

Imagine having such as shit file structure you give up organizing and put everything in a folder called "etc"
This is why I use windows.
