I use macOS in large part because its a *nix OS under the hood. WSL gives a lot of that power to Windows.

- fesc 4y agoExcept it isn't, so e.g. running containers still need a VM. I wish macOS had something like WSL built-in.
- dathinab 4y agomacOS is tempting but it's a pretty bad nix IMHO. The amount of times I had to change ad-hoc scripts to work around macOS limitations is absurd.
- gonehome 4y agoYeah it’s a tradeoff, that part is worse but everything else is a lot better (battery life, performance, hardware quality, software integration, design etc.)
- eddyg 4y agoThat’s likely because macOS is BSD-based. (Which may be inconvenient at times, but it doesn’t mean it’s “bad”.) Not all the world is GNU.
