Heh.  This author here, while making a rational-enough case in a way, 
exposes why proprietary OSes are the refuge of the lazy, here I am using 
Windows 11 24H2 on a four-thread CPU, it's a bit sluggish, so I'll 
probably Linux this thing, but that's because I'm not so challenged by 
the terminal command line, I used PowerShell already today to install 
nativefier (a free way to make Web apps, cross-platform, I was using it 
under Debian, too, saving me $5 a month compared to WebCatalog), so even 
in Winblows there are instances where brain use comes in handy.  But no, 
buying a fucking Mac is not the answer.  It's too expensive.  It's a 
cult of Steve Jobs' ghost, of corporate greed, walled garden as it were. 
  Fuck them.  It's ironic, but Windows actually beats macOS because of 
how expensive Macs are, and how its Unix functions aren't nearly as good 
as just using Linux - the macOS-specific stuff is hit-or-miss, where 
WinAPI apps are pretty consistently functional.

Suffice to say, I'm still the most impressed, overall, with GNU/Linux 
such as Debian, but Winblows isn't so terrible in a way.

And lacking in expandability and versatility. All Apple’s machines are 
basically just glorified laptops now.

And the OS may have licensed the “Unix” trademark, but it doesn’t work the 
way people expect traditional “Unix” systems to work.

Ask one of the original Bell Labs crew, Ken “Mr Unix” Thompson: he has 
given up on Apple and switched to Linux.

Right, it's a freakin' joke, if you ask me, there are *selected* 
functions of macOS software that outshine the competition, but the 
typical home user is better off with something else, because of the 
ridiculous expense of the Apple platform, even if they like macOS, it's 
just throwing money down the toilet.  Maybe they have money to burn, I 
could understand that, but it would never click with me even if I did 
have a billion dollars, because my brain doesn't work that way to prefer 
Apple's quirkware.

"Ridiculous expense"? Please.

Yes: my MacBook Air (M3) cost me $2,200CAD, but based on my experience, 
this is a computer I can easily use for the next 5 years.

That's $37 a month.

Even if a decent laptop with Linux cost me a third of that (and I very 
much doubt you can find one as good for that number), the difference is 
about $25/month.

That's hardly a huge barrier to entry.

But please elaborate:

What makes Apple's technology so "quirky" in your estimation?

The point is, for that price, you could've gotten more hardware with 
another platform.  It's like buying a Hyundai over a Honda, is it 
literally as good, maybe not in someone's OCD mind, but it's clearly a 
better value financially.

It has the potential to be a great Unix platform, but ends up being just 
a proprietary GUI by dull minds at a cult company, when all is said and 
done, at exorbitant prices.  It's a money pit, even more than Windows 
systems are.

I know how to use macOS, Windows (every version), Linux...

...and I know what works well.

I also know that of the hundreds of people I've seen transition to using 
Macs, only two (yes: literally just 2) have ever expressed any desire to 
return to Windows and one of those was a man in his 70s who was just too 
set in his ways to change at that age.

Your claim was that it is "quirky".

Justify that claim.

The Apple-centric software *largely* sucks (although selected apps are 
great, Microsoft Office and Adobe's stuff are better than on Windows, 
imo), the Unix features are incomplete.  It's a total bizarro world to 
me, compared to Windows or Linux.

There was a thing called “the Unix philosophy”. Though perhaps we should 
nowadays call it “the *nix philosophy”.

One of its principles is “mechanism, not policy”. The OS kernel and core 
userland should, as far as possible, not prejudge the ways in which users, 
developers and admins may want to deploy the system; let them configure 
it, and build higher custom layers on top of it, to do whatever they want.

Consider how *nix display servers like X11, and now Wayland, conform to 
this philosophy, by being separate modular, replaceable layers that 
operate entirely in userland. And they are not GUIs in themselves: the 
actual GUIs are additional higher layers on top of them, that are modular 
and replaceable in themselves.

Consider how Apple breaks this philosophy, by inextricably binding its 
particular conception of a GUI tightly into its OS kernel.

Which is all well and good for computer nerds (and I mean that very 
kindly in that I am one to some degree).

Ordinary people DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT.

Because they're producing a product for a mass market.

You don't get to choose a GUI when you are buying your dishwasher...

...or your microwave...

...or your car.

You want the manufacturer to deliver you a whole product that works in a 
manner you like (for the most part).

Why do you think there is such a hue and cry when a widely used OS--be 
it Windows, macOS, Android--undergoes a large UI change?

When Apple first brought out Mac OS X, there was a huge backlash against 
the change in UI.

When Microsoft brought out Windows 8, there was a reaction from users 
that was so bad that many took that as a reason to switch to Macs.

There is a (relatively) small community of users of any mass market 
product that want full customizability. Hell, I used to play with 
products like "Kaleidoscope" for Mac OS 7 and 8.

But you come at this as if everyone wants that level of control, and the 
truth is: they don't.

It's a minor concern, ultimately, I do like the modular nature of Unix 
and GNU/Linux in terms of creating a GUI, it's terrific, but Microsoft 
and Apple haven't failed to be as advanced as such, there's nothing to 
say there are limitations on what can be developed for them.

Do you want to buy a car where you can pick which engine you use?

Have you actually created your own GUI?

Terrible analogy.

My car's NAV system has different themes to chose from.  Almost
nobody will use them, but some people do.

Choice is good.

And yet for most consumer goods, choice is extremely limited and 
personal customization after purchase is essentially nil.

In the meantime (while still catching up on threads) I'm wondering just 
what are these so-called various "themes" on a Navigation system...?

I've seen day/night, as well as features for it to automatically switch.

Similarly, I've also seen Infotainment systems where one can choose from 
some different background 'desktop' colors.  This is broader than just a 
NAV module, but I can see where a NAV UI could use the system's desktop 
settings for various boxes/whatever enough for it to count.

FWIW, I've also had some GPS's where one can choose which icon to use to 
designate one's own vehicle, from a short list provided therein.

But all of these are pretty simple to program, and a half dozen choices 
for each provides a lot of variations for customers to choose from. 
Granted, it doesn't offer infinite color variation (or even color-match 
to the OEM's available colors), but for the generic mainstream consumer, 
they're content with "blue car" instead of it being exactly "Largo Blue" 
or whatever.

Yes there are. Look at how Microsoft has completely failed at adapting 
Windows to any kind of mobile device, from Windows Phone up to the present 
gaming handhelds. Apple created entirely separate OSes for its phones and 
its tablets (which fitted nicely into its walled-garden business model, of 
course), while Linux-based competitors (Android, Steam Deck etc) are much 
more versatile and adaptable.

That's because Windows is not "adaptable" at all. It is not modular, portable
nor scalable. All of which is how Unix was designed from the beginning.
 
> Apple created entirely separate OSes for its phones and

What?  You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. iOS is a fork of
MacOS (OS X at the time). In fact, on the very first iPhone the OS was called
"OS X". Get a clue. 

iPads ran iOS until version 13.  Then iOS was forked into iPadOS because Apple
started adding multiple window management, which would be silly on a phone.  
tvOS/WatchOS are both forks of iOS. They are all Unix. They are not "entirely
separate OSes". The main difference is the GUIs. Just like Android is a fork
of Linux. 

Because Unix IS modular/portable/scalable.

Completely different GUI, therefore completely different kernel. The GUI 
is not a separate, modular layer, remember.

The distinction is what is silly. Remember, Android invented “phablets”.

They all license the “Unix” trademark, that doesn’t mean they follow the

Wow... ...just, no.

Why would a completely different GUI mean a completely different kernel?

'XNU ("X is Not Unix") is the computer operating system (OS) kernel 
developed at Apple Inc. since December 1996 for use in the Mac OS X (now 
macOS) operating system and released as free and open-source software as 
part of the Darwin OS, which, in addition to being the basis for macOS, 
is also the basis for Apple TV Software, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS, 
and tvOS.'

No. The distinction is NOT silly. Different usage patterns make running 
the same OS silly.

As Microsoft discovered to its dismay with Windows 8.

Instead of continuing to dig yourself into a hole, just admit that you know
nothing about Operating Systems in general and Apple in particular.

OF COURSE the GUI is a separate layer. That's part of what Unix is all about.
 Modular, portable and scalable.

No, it is not silly. Do phones need code to manage multiple, overlapping
windows?  No, because everything runs full screen on the small screen of the
phone.

Yes, you keep claiming that, which is not at all the same as "pointing it
out". They are all - in fact - Unix. Deal with it.

No, that’s part of what the “Unix philosophy” is about, or perhaps
better renamed the “*nix philosophy” now, since the one OS still in
common use that has licensed the “Unix” trademark does not, and
actually has never (since its NextStep days) abided by that
philosophy.

No, the macOS GUI is *not* a separate, modular layer, like on Linux.
Are there alternative GUIs available, like on common Linux distros?
Can you install it without a GUI at all, like on Linux, and administer
it remotely via SSH? Can you login on text consoles, like on Linux?

No, and no, and no.
