Isn't is fuse? Why then it doesn't work on darwin?
Mac OS version of Fuse is a commercial software. That said there are other alternatives.
I use Samba over my LAN and ZeroTier to create a sort of VPN Samba on MacOS is a bit slow (heads up) I have not yet figured that issue out but this setup worked for me for a number of years. (and manages to handle my time machine backups over LAN)
Any more since most of my remote access needs fall under development I user Visual Studio Code and their Remote connections system (which is pretty fucking good and "only" requires an SSH connection... and a decent amount of RAM on the remote host)
There are a lot of things to beat up an MacOS over... but honestly getting more technical windows users to from Windows to Mac WILL help Linux adoption. Getting into the underpants of MacOS is very similar to linux (you just don't HAVE to have fun unless you want to)
Wait what? The default kernel doesn't have a fuse fs, inbuilt or as kext? Didn't know that. I thought all modern un*ces come with fuse.
Edit: It seems apple is introducing something called LiveFS similar to (but incompatible) fuse. Couldn't find much docs and I'm not gonna read xnu sources rn.
no it's not. xnu is very different from linux, with even design philosophy far apart. The userland (and bsd interface aka positive syscall world) is similar to *bsd's, not typical linux userland. Only real similarity is launchd because systemd drew inspiration from it.
The FuseFS thing; yeah It was crazy to me because I must abandon the metaphor by saying...
MacOS IS Unix AND Linux is really just trying its damndest to BE Unix
Both MacOS and Unix are POSIX.... while Windows requires either WSL OR if you are old school cygwin to achieve POSIX compatibility
So to a degree they are the similar...
but like finding a dick on the internet you are always reminded by MacOS that Unix != Linux :) (I love Linux all the same)
I do not get what you're trying to say here, sorry.
On the note on similarity I mean macos userland is closer to bsd than linux. Also for normal usage freebsd is much different in nature than usual linux (free)desktop though they share same desktop shells which isn't the case for macos either. And while most people aren't writing with posix api everyday, many (most?) paradigms translate to win32 so that the crt from mingw works well. It matters only if you're working with msvc toolchain, and then you've to adapt to windows-isms.
Personal anecdote: yes I find macos more familiar than windows even though I use windows vm often and macos rarely. At least the command names are same/similar.. So your point stands, my point is more on the Aktually side.
You pedantic fuck β€οΈ
