I am insanely interested but the apple ecosystem sucks. I use a MacBook for work because it's that or Windows, but good lord do i hate the closed source walled garden. Linux at home ftw.

MacOS is waaay better for that than iOS though. If you squint a little and try to stick to the CLI, you can pretend it's Linux.

[-] abhibeckert@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Or, run docker and have actual Linux.

[-] marx2k@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

That docker engine still runs in a small Linux vm.

And the m1, m2, etc chips killed the use of VirtualBox for running full fledged vms :/

[-] thatsnothowyoudoit@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

UTM will run full fledged linux just fine on Apple Silicon.

Sharing host file systems is still tougher than Virtualbox, but time and adoption will remedy that.

The problem is creating isos and vagrantfiles for the common denominator that can be shared via git and artifactory

[-] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Lol I do that too, but that's hardly a viable desktop experience on its own.

macOS isn’t walled…

As someone who has to support MacOS desktop....... It functionally is?

Ok sure, it's not as bad as Android or iOS, but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"

[-] Wodge@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

TIL Android is a walled garden.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Well, courts seemed to think so in the Epic v Google case

[-] Wodge@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Google Play Store is, kinda, but Android itself is not.

[-] ji17br@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

You can literally run anything you want on MacOS

[-] stratosfear@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Totally like Counter-Strike

[-] Rooki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Except, what apple dont want you to run.

[-] ji17br@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Incorrect. Apple does not need to approve or sign any code for it to run on any Mac.

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 10 points 2 years ago

but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"

But it is? You can just right click and run any apps from any source on macos.

[-] porkchop@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted on that. It’s factually accurate. You can easily run unsigned code from anywhere on a Mac, unwalled, no problem. I’ve got a SAB / radarr / sonarr / HASS server running on old hardware with a current OS and… it’s great.

Also isn’t Xcode free? So you can literally “simply“ download, develop, and run

[-] SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

How is it “functionally” walled? How is it far from “anyone can simply download and run”? It literally is just that. Anyone can download anything and run any unsigned code. I am baffled by the fact that all the people correcting you are getting downvoted.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how I can open the screen on my mac and immediately continue where I left off. I love how the entire laptop is made out of metal that doesn't bend or warp and whose hinge works today just like it did half a decade ago.

I hate everything else about the mac, especially how I have to pay inflated prices for everything. I hate even more about how fucking hard it is to get into the actual nitty gritty system settings on a mac. If I could find a reasonably priced laptop with great build quality and immediate boot, I'd throw my mac in the garbage or sell it off to someone else who would appreciate it much more.

I guess I dont really need to mention I'm poor. If I wasnt Id already have got a second laptop that ran not-macOS
