I think the point is that the big two personal computer operating systems have become so user hostile that alternatives are looking good. FreeBSD wouldn't be my choice either but for a mac refugee it makes sense.

What do you mean by hostile?
- eloisius 5y ago
  Subverting user’s intentions by doing things like resetting the default browser on every update, or forcing you into their App Store ecosystem by making it like pulling teeth to download an app from the internet and run it.

    Doesn't sound critical at all.

How is Linux hostile?
- smackeyacky 5y ago
  Windows and OSX, not linux. All the stupid stuff they force down your neck: must be a registered user in their system rather than just a local user. The app stores. The deprecation of perfectly good hardware. Forced updates on their schedule. Monitoring of user actions turned on by default. Changing preferences without asking. All of it is getting in the way of you actually using your own device on your own terms.
