  • Yeah, I meant unlike with Linux you can’t change certain core functionality of your OS. Stuff like just entirely replacing the window manager for a different one. You can do a lot of powerful stuff with kernel extensions, but even those are limited (and apple made it a lot more complicated to install kernel extensions on Apple Silicon compared to how it worked on Intel Macs)


  • Mac isn’t really a walled garden in the sense iOS is without jailbreak. You can install unsigned code out of the box, have similar Admin privileges as on windows (but not as powerful as a superuser on Linux), and it integrates very well into an otherwise non-Apple household. You can use quickshare with android phones or windows PCs instead of using apple airdrop for example, which is something iOS users can only dream of

    I prefer hackintosh over Linux on my Thinkpad, even though battery life is slightly worse (but still way better than it was out of the box with windows)
