I read a deep dive into the macos "certified UNIX" thing and it's a scam. I dont remember the details but the certification is obtained only through a set of testing exceptions. The macos used by people is not the macos that is Unix certified.

As a former macos user (2013-2024ish), macos has become IMO a very user hostile experience. It's not quite as bad as windows, but macos is not the "user friendly, it (mostly) just works and gets out of your way" os it used to be.

I'm full time Linux now and when I have to use macos or windows I cannot believe how user hostile they both are.

Linux is far from perfect, but at least I control my system/os.

    Oh hey. You’re me! I’ve historically been a very loyal Mac user who played with Linux here and there, but I’ve been full time Linux for the past few two years.

    Sibling from another mother! Tried it a few times over the years here and there just like you, until going full time.

    Also got a full homelab going and have been learning python.

    I haven't really used Mac OS since Mountain Lion, so that makes me sad to hear, but I'm not really surprised.
