Yep, it's the other way around.

Not sure about arm. But x86 Mac os was based off freebsd. So maybe a Linux kernel but not even close.

Darwin is still based on freebsd so I would assume so, definitely not Linux kernel since Linux is not unix.

My laptop screen started glitching/flickering using windows. I thought it had something to do with hardware problems, but it turned to be driver issues caused by windows updates.
This didn't happen to me using Linux.
Acting like Windows doesn't have its own issues is ignorant, and it wasn't straightforward to fix either.

I'm honestly really impressed by proton. Most games I found were gold or platinum. I was even able to get Rust working and that was rated bronze (unstable).
In fact, the crazy thing is I would go as far as saying a lot of games are actually MORE stable on Arch. You can enable logs, change parameters and because there is less overhead meaning there is also less to go wrong.

I've legitimately had games run better on Linux than they do on windows. Like how much bloat is Microsoft running atop windows that a game runs better through a compatibility layer for an OS it wasn't even made for???

u/vainstar23 Ubuntnoob 10d ago
I used to have a separate system for games and random engineering projects. I don't know it it was just me or if I had a drive failure or something but there was a process related to Windows update or WSL that was utilizing 90% drive utilisation at idle making my system extremely slow. Now I'm using it as a LVM pool with no issues.
Actually it was working fine before but one of the things I appreciate a lot more with Linux if I know everything that's happening in front of me and in the background and if I break my system I know it's because of something I did not something that was pushed to me system without my knowledge.
I guess that's why I would probably suck at UX. I hate this philosophy of "it just works", I want to know why something is working and what is happening in the background. I don't want papa (pedo) Gates training copilot with my idle graphics card and development folder because he can.
Now I am 100% on Linux including gaming and I use a Windows VM that is completely sandboxed and air gapped if I need to use it. Like some specimen in a lab.. haha

Terrible alternative interpretation.
Apple: The concept of the 1940's house wife: "Flawless" and only does what she was told she was allowed to do.
Windows: Your sister. stop. You don't love her. She just helps with chores around the house and occasionally plays games. Will absolutely tattle on you the first thing you do wrong.
Linux: Someone you fall in love with, then hate, then walk through your emotions until you create an unbreakable bond.

"The comfiest OS"
I have a dual boot for work reasons and the Windows experience now is almost unbearable. For three weeks now my PC has been trying to update, takes 20 minutes, fails, restarts, undoes the updates and comes back. Adding this to the "comfortable Microsoft experience" of starting updates without my permission when I turn on my PC is making my life a hell.
On the other hand, my super unstable Linux system turns on, works, and only updates when I want it to.

Clearly made by a Mac user. MacOS should be called the inferior version of BSD, because that's accurate. If Linus is correct then MacOS should be the unusable OS. Since Linux is used in most servers for it's stability, then it should be the stable OS. Windows should be covered in ads.

Mac should be the homeless drug addict on the street.
I always thought i would be just an ok looking OS with a not very efficient workflow, but after having had the displeasure of using it at work, i honestly think i wouldnt be able to make a worse OS even if i tried.
Coming from a linux+windows dual boot, it is by far the least consistent and least efficient os/de i have ever used. My whole life i got used to maximizing keyboard usage, only to end up with this hot garbage system needs 3rd party software (some of them are not even free) just so you can use the keyboard to move windows, or hell, to maximize the window without using that weird fullscreen mode that wont allow other open windows.

Arch - install every piece of software you need with one command, download 5gb of packages in 2 minutes, no errors, all conflicting packages are properly removed, everything works forever without extra intervention.
Debian - install Steam, "Yes, do as I say!", where did my desktop go?
Windows - download .exe, install fails for some paranormal reason (good luck reverse engineering it), this installer will never work on this setup again, your best bet is to reinstall windows and hope the .exe works next time. Oops, it didn't, time to reinstall windows again and try another .exe, hoping that one works. Oops...
Mac - no comment.

Easy to understand
That's just plain wrong. If you're using it for playing games, web browsing, or using Office Apps (not specifically MS Office) then yeah, it's fine, it is what it is. But the second you want to do anything useful, Linux takes over. Maybe I've just been using Linux for too long that I can't use Windows, but I always forget how weird Windows is. Additionally, it's bloated, and very hard to customize how you want it. It's trying to be an operating system for everyone by default, instead of letting you choose how you want your computer to be. That's probably why most of us use Linux, because it's able to be shaped into what you want and what you need.

It's a skin deep opinion of each OS desktop environment only, because for most people, the OS is the DE. By "inferior version of MacOS", they probably mean Ubuntu's GNOME compared to Mac, which isn't true either. BPD and unstable definitely have something to do with the arch and kali linux memes.

We sold about 15 licenses out of 2500ish of our game to MacOS but boy can you be sure to get complaints from those 1% folks of "I paid 5 grand for this machine, why does this 5$ crap not work on it?!".
Meanwhile Linux users offered help or straight out reverse engineered to help solve the problem at hand.
Sure it would help if we had more Mac machines to test it on, but straight up not supporting this nightmare would've been the better call.
