    Nope. Seriously nope.

    Yes, it has a bash shell if you need it, but Windows does too.

    Yes, it’s based on an unixoid kernel, but that kernel is not Linux and the average user has no idea what a kernel is, nor would they want to.

    Having a MacOS device means it comes pre-setup by the manufacturer with an OS that’s 100% compatible to the hardware, where you don’t have to think about drivers at all, where all the software needed just runs without any hacks or hassle. There’s none of the tinkering involved that you’d need on Linux.

    And I say this as a Linux user who can’t stand touching Macs.

    But these two OSes are not at all in the same category.

      But I use docker to write my react apps! Totally the same thing!

      Even with containers being easy apple fucked up file performance because of apfs and windows is the far better choice.
