    The weird thing is that the UNIX core of MacOS would lend itself really well to tinkering. It’s a shame that Apple lobotomizes all the hardware they sell with locked down firmware…

      It’s why I much prefer MacOS over Windows. The command line makes sense. The file and folder structure makes sense. The defaults can be a little bit weird but a little configuration can help me feel right at home.

      Ironically, I found macOS to be a lot more technical than Windows. It’s how I got my start with Linux. At least changing the default browser changes the default browser. I’ll be using macOS and Linux side by side.

        Yeah tinkering with my Mac is what got me over to Linux as well. Yeah with Macs some things are locked down or a little tricky to find, but with windows nothing makes any sense to me and I feel like I’m constantly fighting it.
