I hope to Christ I'm wrong, but from the magnet metadata this seems to be exactly what you think it is. My question is, what the actual fuck, and why has it been there for 5 months?
Give me a single reason to use GNU/Linux over macOS. Consider the following.
-> You're paying $0.00 for what is essentially a hybrid kernel, the BSD userland (and everything that comes with it), and the Apple UI. Paying nothing for a very polished and stable certified-Unix system seems reasonable, considering how well Apple seems to integrate everything in their OS.
-> You're not really missing out on anything in Mac that you wouldn't in GNU/Linux. You've got the same version control software, compilers, a packaging system, and the same IDE's as GNU/Linux if you develop that way. Much of the underlying structure of macOS is rooted in Darwin, which is basically BSD, meaning that it's free and open source. You can literally look at the source inside the OS.
-> Let's also consider the proprietary side of things. Sometimes, the open source drivers and plugins the community has can be... a little lackluster. You have every streaming service available, the Microsoft suite of productivity software, and a whole host of other software available through the Mac App store, a great way of unifying all the programs available for macOS and providing them to the user.
-> The UI is very well done and responsive, and anything that it really wanted to hide from the user, can be found if they really wanted to. If you're someone who can't live without all the rice, it's not like you can't slap a tiling wm on it, make some modifications, and call it a day if you're so inclined. Once again, it's the best of both worlds.
-> "But Anon," you spurt out through your cheeto drooling mouth, "What about all the 'excellent' command-line tools that Linux has?" There's nothing that isn't already on macOS that you can't just compile anyway, since you were already going to do that on Linux.
So tell me /g/, what's the point, or even the benefit of using an OS made mostly by NEETs and neckbeards who peel the skin off their crusty cracked feet and eating it?
