In my personal experience macOS is fine but updates are often buggy or regress performance. Linux has just been the more polished option. Plus it just has a nicer desktop and apps.

I stay 1 major version behind with MacOS. If you do that you should have a pretty stable experience. You still get all the security patches but skip most bugs/regressions.

Linux got this philosophy made distribution called Debian. What kind of argument is that for OS experience and stability?

Linux has good support for m1 and m2, so for newer devices running a custom desktop would be neat.


This is how modern x11 worked too since nobody uses software rendering with x primitives anyway.


“It works” is the bare minimum. Software is maintained for decades and should have a higher bar of quality.


> given that it's the equivalent level of quality on review?


iPhones would require an exploit.


A bootloader exploit at that, and we haven't had one of those in years.


The ability to install any software would be nice…


I assume you’re downvoted because Microsoft has to want that.
