>>60291734
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Where I work everyone runs linux on a macbook or dell xps.

>>60291764

Why would someone do this?

iOS is basically BSD plus the best GUI money can buy. You have the console as well as the "just werks" Applel products. It's literally the best of both worlds..

Don't get me wrong, I really like Mint, but running Linux on a Mac is silly..

>>60292119
There are free (as in freedom) alternatives on almost all distros.
Having a bad window manager is your own fault for not configuring it yourself.
You can install or even make your own file manager, compared to "Finder" which makes the Windows file manager seem state of the art.

Yes I heard this from my friend who coded for 15 years and on his last job everyone used macs. He told me that it was the crappiest OS for coding he's ever seen. Almost nothing fucking worked except browsing facebook. They literally had to launch some linux in docker to make their project work.

I meant just the default font. It's the only thing that matters.

I used hackintosh on old resolution displays and fonts look better than default windows or linux fonts. Stop pretending that there's no "spoilt teenage girl" default setup on mac, like this guy said
>>60292343

>>60292493
