Apple is not even against other operating systems on Macs. Bootcamp has been a thing for a long time (and apparently they're not against ARM Bootcamp were it possible [1]) and recently marcan mentioned how Apple added something that wouldn't be helpful for Apple, but is helpful to the Asahi Linux project.

- rbanffy 5y agoAn OS is different from an application for selling, installing and running other applications.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoThat's pretty much literally what an OS is! An application that lets you install and run other applications.

- rbanffy 5y agoI am aware it is. My comment is about app stores not being an integral part of an operating system. Or, at least, they didn’t use to be. OTOH, Linux has had package management for decades.
