Tim Apple be like "We've tried charging more money. Have we tried charging more money and delivering less stuff in exchange?"
Yes, they do constantly. Yet, people still keep buying. I hate that I have to use Apple for my job because of the software and interface is exclusive.
I really like my macbook for dev work, and I think that now that macos is essentially a linux distro it's quite nice, but it's not that much better than the free distros and it's getting worse while they get better. Right now the only thing keeping me on a mac at work is that they gave it to me and the only thing keeping me on a mac at home is that it's already paid for.
you wanna expand on why you think it's basically a linux distro? Last i heard macos was more closely based on BSD than it was linux, and this was ages ago. Unless they rewrote it without my knowledge it really shouldn't be anything like either one of the two.
because I can pop a terminal into zsh and beyond that I don't really know the taxonomy
you can do that with WSL though.
All modern terminals are actually terminal emulators, unless you're sitting in TTY. It's pretty trivial to implement a proper UNIX/linux like CLI environment.
okay
and for completion sake here, technically windows implements a "terminal" through CMD, it's not linux/unix like at all, but it is still a CLI interface, so.
Yup, same. I really don't like macOS, but that's what we've standardized on. I'm a Linux guy and use Linux at home for everything.
Lol, audio jacks come to mind. As well as a physical button. And shipping devices without cords or chargers.
