You appear to be mired in the 90's.

There is no =| “Unix” trademark |= .

You have been corrected on this multiple times.

"UNIX® is a registered trademark of The Open Group."

"Unix" is the description of a family of POSIX-compliant
operating systems.

Linux is a Unix, but is not UNIX®

MacOS is a Unix, and is also UNIX®.

"*nix" was a term used in the 90's, until
this matter was cleared up.

The NeXTStep GUI got grafted onto OS X.  If someone wants to
do something similar on Linux, there is GNUStep or if you
want the NeXT "look and feel", AfterStep.

http://www.afterstep.org/

Once again, you are stuck in the 90's.

macOS

Can you install it without a GUI? No.

Can you administer it remotely via SSH? Yes.

Can you login in via text console? Yes.

Shows what you know.

Think you're reaching pretty far back there buddy, back to when Unix 
didn't have any GUI...

But even then, I can recall us having a Unix mini in the office circa 
1983 - - it wasn't my project, but I can recall that the guy working on 
it ran into issues because its flavor of Unix wasn't the same flavor 
that they were familiar with, which apparently came down to which 
manufacturer ("brand") the hardware was.

Precisely the point. Once X11 came along, it was embraced as a common GUI 
standard among *all* the Unix vendors, even those who had put some effort 
into developing quite advanced proprietary concepts of their own (e.g. 
Sun’s NeWS).

So you see, a core part of what made for a “Unix” system was, from quite 
early on, modularity and replaceability that extended to the GUI.

I think Steve Jobs’ NeXT was an exception. Funnily enough, that struggled 
to make an impact. His was very much a voice in the wildnerness, until his 
company was acquired by a moribund Apple, and he returned as “iCEO” of the 
merged organization.

I watched a documentary about Jobs's time at NeXT. To say the least,

You claim it is "quirky".

None of what you just wrote explains that claim.

With the exception of storage and "maybe" RAM, more doesn't equate equally between
platforms.
The efficiency of the OS and application software plays a big part so just because you have
a higher clocked CPU and more memory for the same amount of money doesn't mean something like
Photoshop will run better on the higher hardware spec with Windows vs Mac.

And on that same note, Alan is correct in that the user experience is a combination
of software and hardware. One without the other is useless.

You really seem to have a lot of freaky, obtuse issues with computers that you are either
unable to accurately describe or are fantasizing about.
Maybe you should find another hobby?
Just a suggestion.

I guess.  But Apple is still weird, even if it somehow makes such great 
use of their paltry offerings of hardware.

Au contraire, I get results.  Everyone makes mistakes, everyone has 
karma, that's what killed my computer, but I bounced back hard.

HOW is it weird? I'm guessing by "weird" you really mean, "does 
something in a way /I/ don't like.

And what makes their offerings "paltry" exactly?

Nothing killed my MacBook Pro except extreme old age, and even then, I 
could have fixed it, if I'd wanted to.

It's not a matter of what I like, it's functionality.  Microsoft puts

Are you kidding?  Do the comparisons of devices offered.  You'll see it 
fast.  Apple is expensive.

I will salvage the parts from my dead computer, when I have real money 
to spend on a fresh motherboard.  But for now, the mini PC has replaced it.

More expensive, yes. Stipulated.

In what way are the devices they offer "paltry".

Or do you just not know what the word actually means?

So you've had to buy two computers...

Let's say the default configuration comes with 16 GB RAM, the next step 
up will be 24 rather than 32, for a large sum.  It's lame.

It was the result of bad judgment in accepting a pirated TV show video 
file, a chain of events that destroyed a perfectly good computer.  But I 
can deal with it.  The mini PC was about $200, came with Win11 Pro, not 
as bad as I thought too, I was gonna take a look and quickly put Linux 
on it, but now I'm not so sure, with 24H2's improvements in performance.

That's about COST.

With computers, what matters in terms of "paltry" is capacities.

You're the one playing that game, you snipped what I said, because it 
demonstrates you "have nothing" to contradict the point, Apple is pricey

Aside from not being a correct English sentence, I was asking about 
INTUITIVENESS...

...and you have again neglected to articulate a way in which the Finder...

...or ANY OTHER part of the Mac operating system is less intuitive than 
Windows.

They put the window buttons on the wrong side of the titlebar.

Seriously, though, there's nothing wrong with higher end Macs for
what you get.  I wouldn't wish a Mac mini on my worst enemy, though.

Someone said Macs weren't extendable -- but they are, with Thunderbolt,
which is basically "external PCIE".

Same guy said Macs "weren't really Unix" (paraphrased), but has never
explained what he means by that, and I daresay he's never used a Mac
command line -- which is bash, in a POSIX+ environment.

There's something to be said about people with no knowledge or
experience with a system making claims about it.  I'll not say it
personally, but leave it to others to decide.

But having said all that:  Linux is still a better environment
for _my_ needs, which includes a recent installation of a document
management system, using docker.  (Do Macs have docker?  Do they even
have containers?  Beats me.)
