The article mainly serves to remind me of why I switched from linux to mac a few years back. All that configuring stuff just isn't how I want to spend my time now. I can't think of the last time I spent any 'sysadmin' time with my macbook (other than clearing space off my undersized SSD). I won't repeat the obvious over-used marketing phrase, but it's been pretty much true in my experience.
The trouble is with Apple falling so far behind on hardware, and enforcing the developer-hostile 'touch bar' faux keyboard to the few new machines they do bother to introduce, it's hard to see what happens next. For the first time in my computer-using adult life, there just isn't anywhere good to go when my current machine needs replacing. Linux demands more of my time than I'm willing to give it. Windows is adware. MacOS runs on hardware I don't want (Hackintosh? Might as well just go linux).
