I don't regret switching to MacOS. It has all the capabilities of Linux, but is an actually stable just werks OS.

Funny you feel the need to justify yourself on a Tibetan basket weaving forum. Smells like cope to me.

Selling point of apple was always macos. You are free from Windows curse and still have all your favorite software. This is why they were getting away with selling their computers for obscene prices while removing and reselling things that should come with the device (like usb ports)

This is also why you can't officially install MacOS on anything other than apple product

You're trading privacy for utility. Same thing as with modern Windows iterations, except not really because Win11 is literally useless.

MacOS is very private. All Apple products are are.

Honestly I would never use macOS as a Linux replacement.
Why use a terminal on macOS? You don't even get repositories/secure storage for your terminal apps with brew/homebrew.

As like a GUI Linux/Windows replacement, yeah it's pretty good.
The time tracking feature leads to a reliant indicator to know how much time you put in working.

Same. Gave Ubuntu a shot. Not enough itjustworks. Gave MacOS a shot. Itjustworks. Sad about not having lots of games but I'm more of a utilitarian with my computer anyway.

MacOS did not support Excel Data Models properly.
A woman at work opted for a Mac, bending the rules, and she was wondering why the Finance team's Excels did not work for her. After weeks or months, someone finally told her that it's because she is using a Mac.

Id switch if it wasnt so expensive and also didnt require you to monthly subscribe to every single piece of software. Literally anything in the apple ecosystem requires a $15-30 dollar subscription you have to pay for life

How does Ubuntu not "itjustworks"?

Meanwhile my huge steam library runs just fine on Linux

BigMacOS only runs on speshul snowflake hardware, so it only has a smol fraction of Linux' capabilities.
