1) you can do this on Mac, it's the default.
2) you can install macos without an iCloud login. No special commands needed, just "not now"
3) yeah this you cannot do. but other than xcode I don't actually get anything from the store because you don't need to
4) this is true for Mac, you only need to pay to get the binary signed. Does ms give you signing without paying?
5) WSL2 is a hypervisor run Linux. You can do that on Mac too, there's a few options but orbstack is the one I use, super nice. However, for command like stuff you don't need Linux because macos is Unix anyway so you can just install most stuff natively
6) you don't even need xcode you can use the GCC toolchains
It seems pretty par for the course tbh except not being able to natively run unix tools on windows is a pita
- jemmyw 3y agoI'll add a 7) once I switched the default browser on a Mac I've never seen safari again. Windows kept trying to cram edge back down my throat.
- csdvrx 3y agoI understand you mean good, but Apple is less free. WSL2 is nice, but it's more than than- it's knowing that I have the choice (to go with Lenovo, Dell, HP etc) if say I hate the keyboard layout
- jemmyw 3y agoI never said Apple was more free. Although I think Windows is absolutely awful, an anti-user experience. I like Linux and I've run that on my home hardware since I was a teen. My work provides Apple computers. Hardware options aside, MacOS is a nicer experience than what Windows has become, and as to my points, I think it's also easier to install and use free software on it. I hated the keyboard on the previous mac I was given so I worked on my personal Dell machine. The difference in setup between MacOS and Linux is pretty minimal. The different to Windows is large and unkempt.
