Which is retarded because they didn't even implement clock_gettime (the standard method to get system time, including monotonic time). Their implementation of posix regex functions (in C) also used to be to launch a perl process to do the regex and return the result to C.

Linux is not unix.
Mac OSX is better than unix in that is uses the Mac Microkernel.
This is one reason it was so portable from powerPC to Intel, and now the ARM-like M series.
One problem with this is the Mach “port” IPC mechanism wasn’t always the fastest PPC or Intel but now they can add specific instructions to make things like
mach_port_*
calls basically hardware implementations.

Kind of like PUSHA/ENTER/LEAVE on 80186 processors back in the day.

Yeah, they're both preemptive multitasking kernels using some sort of paged protected memory scheme.
But over the hood is where the real magic happens, as in you have that garbage that apple made, or the superior xfce.
Macs would be a lot better if you could just install XFCE on em.

Uh, pretty much every computer from the late 70s onwards got the Bell Labs Unix kernel ported to it. It's probably the most cross-platform piece of software ever written.

And the list goes on and on and on. Basically everything got Bell Labs' Unix ported to it until the late 90s when Linux and the BSDs started replacing it.

Also XNU (Apple's fork of Mach) isn't a microkernel.

OSX is trash and you have no option to make it good.
You can't make finder good, you can't make the windows not look autistic, you have to enter literal cheat codes to unlock secret options to do something plain like making the machine not sleep when you close the lid.
It's just garbage all around.

In the real world you have to do the cuck ritual, while i can just double click and appimage without even installing, or just install the WIndows version.
Or type "yay roughly the name of the program" without having to browse shit.

And that's with the official licensed software (tm).
If the software is not kosher, you have to go to the security option shit and "allow the software" by typing your password several times, twice per component that the OSX have a grip with.
I heard there was some cheat to avoid this, but they removed it.

I don't think you retards understand how all the development software is flipped.

On Linux anything involving development is trivial, easy, and predictable. It's like this partly because *there's no distinction between users and developers.* As a consequence when we try to use eg OSX everything we expect to be easy turns into absolute rocket science (or is entirely impossible for arbitrary reasons.)

I think most of you should stay over there in rainbow GUI land and just keep taking it up the ass when apple wants you to. Stop bothering us.
>>
>>109707273
It works with you (someone that is fine with the cuck ritual and security theater, and autism semaphores, and having to press key combinations to even be allowed to type addresses on finder)

Nobody cares about UNIX certification. It's like saying it is IBM compatible in current year.
>>
>>109703550
>>109703795
No one under the age of 40 cares about UNIX. People are attracted to Linux because Windows is shit, that's it. Linux has entered its Eternal September and /g/ has to accept it.
>>
>>109708685
IBM PC compatible is still quite relevant as most people use it.
"UNIX certified" means your mac can run shell scripts coming from magnetic tapes
Not even programs, shell scripts.
