Lol, Linux literally owns the server space, windows owns the desktop space, what exactly does MacOS Own exactly? If best means most pretentious then sure.
surprisingly many computational scientists use MacOS
I’m old enough to remember when people thought OSX Server was a competitive option because it was technically “unix”. Needless to say, once people figured out Apple was using Linux for their own servers, despite numerous attempts to switch over to OSX Server. OSX Server went tits up. Apparently OSX Server hung around as an addon to OSX for casual use.
what exactly does MacOS Own exactly?
It certainly isn’t the enterprise space, ALL their business features and integrations are half-assed at best and downright painful to use at worst (ESPECIALLY iOS device management, fuck what a shit show that is)
I came up with the phrase “Windows is an enterprise OS with consumer features, MacOS is a consumer OS with (half-assed) enterprise features” to describe it perfectly.
And then those “enterprise features” get borked on the next major macOS release.
Oh you wanted to ensure your remote assist tool could be granted the proper permissions to work? Well screw you! We took away the ability to grant Screen Recording permissions through a MDM profile. Suck it!
In case you didn’t know the Screen Recording permission is needed to be able to view the display/screen in applications like Zoom when screen sharing or for remote assist through Screen connect.
Apple’s “reason” was essentially “… Think of the users! It’s for their security”.
The *nix desktop space.
Year of desktop Linux is when? 😆
The “luxury” space. It’s overpriced hardware with an honestly relatively pretty aesthetic and the OS has so many guardrails they’re hard to really mess up, and when someone does mess it up, apple stores are ubiquitous enough that its a pretty quick trip to get it fixed. Perfect for people with a bit more money than sense who don’t want to or have the time/ability to figure out how to properly use a more flexible OS that requires a bit more knowhow to use and not break.

Space in your amygdala, apparently.
Laptops that won’t die in 2 hours? Even with Asahi the difference is 30%

Definitely not the server space. OSX Server flopped in the early 2000’s. But you know, OSX is definitely “unix”.
“Whale space”, as their are going for those that like to spent more?
Joke’s on you: GNU/Linux isn’t Unix to begin with (that’s literally what GNU means: “GNU’s Not Unix”)!
Therefore, MacOS is “the best Unix” only because it managed to squeeze by the BSDs and some dead proprietary Unixes (“Unices?” “Unixen?”) – hardly an impressive feat.
BSDs aren’t even Unix AFAIK because they didn’t bother to pay for the official recognition, despite literally being derived from UNIX. MacOS is pretty much the only UNIX that the average user will actually directly interact with.
Although for both Linux and (especially) BSD, isn’t there a “Unix of Theseus” issue here, if you understand my meaning?
Maybe for BSD? They have a lot of the original code though, and BSD moves a lot slower than Linux. Modern BSDs have a lot more in common with original UNIX than macOS does, but macOS paid for the certification and the BSDs didn’t.
Linux never was UNIX though. It does loosely follow the UNIX philosophy though.

I disagree but this is a funny meme
I still miss that magazine. It was freakin’ awesome.
Lol this comment section is on fire. Irony died in 2015.
People like a good flame war 🤷
Just because one understands trolling doesn’t mean it can’t be fun to discuss the things the troll brought up.
Especially when it’s cold outside.
Where’s the fire ?
*flames, screaming, sound of glass breaking*
God I love the smell of Usenet in the morning
But everyone knows that Mint is the best Unix. (Secret giggle behind my hand.)
I first resurrected a dead PC with RedHat before the turn of the century, mind, and that thing had UPTIME.
I still have me a massive soft spot for Solaris back in the day, though.
Just how do we define our metric for best Unix? Cuz it certainly isn’t freedom if Apples winning any awards.
It’s definitely not comparing Server performance because OSX Server flopped in the early 2000’s.
What’s a computer?
I still remember the iPad ad where this quote was mentioned and it… idk, it definitely feels a bit weird to me. I’m probably guessing there will be more people who will wonder what a computer is in the future.
And that ad was from before iOS 11. I’m serious.

Burn the witch!
I mean, when we’re talking about UNIX, yeah MacOS is probably one of the best…
Linux ain’t UNIX though…
i guess linux can refer to bsd too
So … the Darwin kernel is insecure? 🧐
SOLARIS 8 IS BEST UNIX
I prefer Windows.
