Now, if only macOS still had the ability to drop to a Darwin shell without a GUI at all… we could just have a nice UNIX with something like KDE or COSMIC, brew as our package manager… what a dream.
- MarsIronPI 7mo agoBut why MacOS then? If you take away the interface what differentiates Darwin from FreeBSD or GNU?

- BirAdam 7mo agoThat it will actually run on Apple Silicon. TBH, I would love to install GNU or BSD on my M4 Max Mac Studio. What I really wanted is a modern UNIX workstation. My Studio’s price/performance was the best available, so that’s what I bought. Now, I am happy with that purchase except for the constant diminution in software quality from Apple.
- esseph 7mo agoIf I could buy modern apple hardware and run the Linux of my choice, I probably would. I have 0 interest in the apple ecosystem.
- MarsIronPI 7mo agoI wish I could get an Apple SoC in a 2013 Thinkpad chassis.
- krackers 7mo agoOn intel macs there used to be single user mode, but even then I don't think you ever had control over the framebuffer.
- gf000 7mo agoYeah, why stick to the inferior kernel used by macs with a worse package manager? Like something like nix is just superior in every sense.
