Oh, there is a lot more you can't do on MacOS. Things I can do on MacOS: - Edit any document or video within minutues of installation - Use sed/awk/find/grep on any documents or text like with Ubuntu Linux desktop tries too much to be like macos making it even worse. Every time I have to remove avahi, cups and like 10 other things which breaks the whole damn thing and I have to figure out how to unbreak it then get rid of shitty networkmanager so I can write a systemd unit to get thr network to do what I want and avoid my dns resolvers being replaced and edit grub2 config at least 3 times to get it to actually take so the interface names are not e9xnfhsjfkszhfj02 but just eth0 and then spend half a day to get secure boot working. And then I have to find the apps I want to use and block a weekend aside to set them up. I use mac to just get things done, I use linux for control and to get them done the way I want.

> Use sed/awk/find/grep on any documents or text like with Ubuntu fd, rg, and vim work just fine on the Mac.. Bundled sed is the bsd variant, but you can bring whichever flavor of these you want, I'm very confused by your comment.

> Linux desktop tries too much to be like macos I think using "Linux" here isn't accurate. ElementaryOS? Definitely. But default KDE Plasma for example does not attempt to look like MacOS at all, same as Cinnamon, which by default resembles Windows to an extent.

  I meant with services and philosophy not just and look and feel. You can make kde look like macos if you want as well for appearance.

> Every time I have to remove avahi, cups and like 10 other things which breaks the whole damn thing I don't get it. You're removing services manually and complain it breaks your system. Why remove them then? (For extra irony, avahi is there to support Apple's Bonjour and cups belongs to Apple - I don't expect you're turning those off on your MacOs, right?)

  Yes, that is exactly what I am doing, because I don't want random things I don't need running, because I desire control when I run Linux. If I want random junk that breaks everything and has no use to me running, macos and windows do that just fine.

    I think everyone responding to you has misread your comment and believes you’re saying the opposite of what you meant.
