I had never had a mac, but am pretty comfy with linux instances in the cloud and use them all the time.

Now I've had a mac for 2 days, why didn't I know that MacOS is basically Apple selling a 95% Ubuntu overlapping OS under their own brand.

    It was derived from BSD... soooo

    It's basically a hackneyed BSD under the hood, with some things (like Darwin, the kernel) at least nominally open source. Claiming "95% Ubuntu" is stretching things a lot, even if you don't know that, though.

    It's certainly not ubuntu.
    That's akin to calling all sodas "95% coke" -- even dr pepper and 7up.

    Btw, shameless promotion for FreeBSD here. It doesn’t get repped here enough, it’s a fucking fantastic os.

    I‘d rather say ubuntu has cloned alot of macos UI specifics like the menubar. Furthermore macos i way more stable and nothing breaks during update (especially sound😅)
