Mac without the userland is mostly useless. At that point you might as well switch fully to FreeBSD.

- Maursault 4y agoThis is a straw man, and also not entirely accurate. Darwin is BSD, and in theory just as useful as BSD, or FreeBSD, NetBSD, and useful to developers, and to anyone that can figure out how to install it and use it.

- ChuckNorris89 4y ago>Meanwhile, Windows without hardware less than 2 years old is absolutely worthless. This is false. Source: Installed Windows 11 from official Microsoft ISO on a laptop from 2016 (6 years old) and runs buttery smooth. Please stop spreading FUD like this.
- Maursault 4y agoIf it were not true, Linux would never have become popular. Linux evolved beyond quickly fixing what Microsoft broke to take over the server space, but that was Linux's first practical reason for existing, to mitigate the problems with Windows slowly dying after about 2 years of being installed and used daily.
- forgotpwd16 4y agoIs there a comparison of Darwin to other BSDs?
- shadowfox 4y ago> Meanwhile, Windows without hardware less than 2 years old is absolutely worthless This seems like a massive exaggeration. I am currently running Windows 10 on a refurbished laptop I bought in 2012! (So, actual hardware is even older).
