   Since I'm being boring and moaning about the scam de jour again, let me also go 'WTF' about people blindly taking the word of people who stand to make BILLIONS OF DOLLARS on this topic at face value?
   
   Like I don't fucking want to hear 'the CEO of nvidia says AI stuff is incredible', yeah OBVIOUSLY he says that, I mean jesus christ how naive are people??
   
   "I asked the local butcher whether he thinks more people should buy meat and he said they should!"
   
   WOWWWW!!

     @a1ba @kirby @ljs AFAIK somewhat, IIRC MacOS just picks up a bunch of stuff from BSDs/illumos/pre-GPLv3-GNU/… and puts it in a blender.

     @ljs @kirby @a1ba I think there's bits of BeOS lurking in there with AppleScript or whatever it's called to make scripts against the GUI elements.
     
     But the most I've used MacOS is like 40 minutes in a VM and I think I had enough for like 10 years.

     @ljs @kirby @a1ba MacOS is a thing I just can't recommend, hardware is expensive and the hardware support is just so bad it's basically vendor-locking you.
     
     Meanwhile most people I know can just get a random medium-entry laptop where you then slap a random distro like Mint/Debian/Fedora.
     Worse is like chromebooks could have a serious impact but the support is so abysmal it's just not a serious alternative.
