MacOSX is great, other than the fact that it only runs on insanely overpriced, un-upgradeable and irreparable hardware. And that you have what I would consider limited control over it.
Well my point was that's not a software problem, it's a hardware problem.
Ah yes, the worst of both worlds! Wonderful!
I don't ever recall that...
Yes and no. You can run other software on Mac hardware, but not the other way around.
I could say the same about your statement.
So...I should look up pricing of comparable hardware across the entirety of Apple history because you made a statement you can't back up?
Actions speak louder than words. Or in this case, inaction.
Your homework, not mine.
So, just to be clear, "I think you're my bitch" for expecting you to back up your statements? This is the logic you're going with?
If everywhere you go smells like shit, maybe its time to check your shoes?
How does this work with containers?
Iβd say iOS is still unix too, just rootless.
Mac is BSD, and the Darwin kernel is open source.
It's worth noting that Apple has (for example) gone so far as to replace bash with zsh just because the GPL v3 was too copyleft for them to handle. In other words, fuck Apple.
Oh, I thought it was because zsh is better.
Right decision but for the wrong reason.
That's the point of the BSD license.
Exactly; fuck BSD too.
Unless you're a copyleft developer your opinion on the decisions of the creators is hilariously irrelevant.
A VM doesnβt change the underlying OS collecting data from you
Privacy and data collection-wise MacOS is fine. It's their main selling point. Doesn't even force updates on you. I know it's a low bar, but damn Windows bar is at the floor at this point.
MacOS collects a large amount of data compared to Linux (although not even close to windows). Take a look at their tosdr page and this
I didn't say it's perfect, but it's not terrible. And I think that page is mostly about Apple services, like iCloud and stuff, not MacOS specifically. It's not necessary to use the services.
At best it's "okay but not great".
The millions of people who log into Facebook on their MacBooks prove that's not true.
I mean, if you log in to Facebook at all, whatever MacOS collects is a drop in a bucket in comparison.
Yes that's my point
You have no point.
I think their point is that people don't actually buy Apple products for privacy and therefore it's not "the main selling point".
Uhhhh I mean I'm pretty sure I did....
That link doesn't say what you think it does.
Zenarmor ftw.
The company that laid me off let me keep my Mac which was a nice parting gift. I don't think I'd ever buy one myself. They're just way to expensive.
"always" in this case is when you have two or more gpus in your system, which limits the ability to "just" run a vm considerably.
The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.
