Lol overpriced locked down PoS os

eh I use Linux on my desktop but macOS is a nicely polished UNIX operating system. It's only locked down for average users, you can usually get away with a quick sudo or worst-case going into single user mode and disabling some system protections.

I definitely prefer using *nix operating systems, and macOS gives me that for portable computing. I'm still more productive on Linux, but it's not too far apart.

This is how I feel too. Rather a locked-down polished UNIX system than Windows.
