Considering MacOS and Windows have much more software and driver support than Linux, it's only natural to choose to give up a little more for better docs, userland, and all the other benefits of FreeBSD.
It's the exact same argument the "works for me" Linux folks use, taken to its full conclusion.
- entropicdrifter 6y agoI mean, Windows has better driver support, but MacOS doesn't really, unless we're strictly talking about external peripherals. In terms of internal components Linux absolutely slaughters MacOS for raw number of supported drivers, by design, since MacOS is only intended to run on Apple-approved hardware. Sorry, I know it's nit-picking, I just had to say something.
