What I mean is that if you make linux into something that centrally controlled, it becomes unrecognisable from the linux we know. If you remove the walled garden from macos, it becomes unrecognisable from the macos we know. If you remove forced updates from windows, fundamentally its still the same thing. As for what the walled garden is, its quite hard to explain. I'm not saying its a wholly bad thing either, I use a mac as my main person computer at the moment. But it certainly does feel like if you don't use your mac the way apple intends you to you'll have a significantly worse time compared to another OS. Opinionated software I guess would be the word, which like I say is a double edged sword.
