I use Mac and also open terminal often. Then again, I’m a software engineer and I have work to do, that doesn’t include trying to troubleshoot problems with my OS.

I'm in the same position. My Linux machine is for gaming and .... Interesting tasks that could be hazardous to set up on my Mac.

The hardware quality is sublime as well. However, dailing Linux for a bit and going back to MacOS made me appreciate it more. Homebrew is a hair slow tho 😂

Avast! Nothing interesting to see here mateys. It just be a Linux server serving...files. The legally obtained kind, I might add. Yarrr!

Made my day. Yarr!

Plus the Mac is a wee skiff in the open sea.

Homebrew is so convenient, yet so ridiculously slow.

There is a option to not install the kitchen sink when you brew install... I forgot what it is though...

Kindly extrapolate on the more hazardous workloads you Linux machine runs

I used to use ~~MacOS~~ OS X in the mid-2000s, and the reason why I liked it was precisely because it was the best UNIX.

It's a shame Apple moved away from things like bash, Applescript, Automator, Xserve, machines with toolless chassis and good upgradability, etc.

There's a better timeline where Woz was also brought back to Apple, OS X was just another linux distro that came with Apple's very nice hardware, and the combined Linux and Mac user space meant game devs would take it seriously. Also, Mac/linux had a real foothold in the educational space again.

Omg this gave me goosebumps to read. That would have been amazing!!!

Yeah, and that shift from copyleft to permissive (bash is GPL-licensed; zsh is MIT-licensed) is emblematic of Apple going from genuinely wanting users to have full control of their system to only begrudgingly tolerating it when they can't stop it entirely. Apple switched precisely because bash upgraded from GPLv2 to GPLv3 and Apple was butthurt about users' rights being better protected.
