"Make something like OS X based on Linux and I'd spend $500+ to buy it"
OK but please keep the good part of X Window System.
How do you display an app launched by one user in another user's session on OS X?
You don't...
How do you remotely log in to one user account on an OS X system while another user is logged in at the physical machine?
You don't...
These (and many others) are trivial (and, very, very convenient) things you can do on a stock (free) Linux (or any other X-based Un*x UI).
I'm not disagreeing with you but simply pointing out that it's not as if Apple got everything correctly with their OS X UI...
- jspthrowaway2 14y agoSince probably more than 99% of Macs are single-user workstations in practice, I'd wager that they got it right, just not for your needs. I like that aspect of X too but I find myself getting by without it. I can also SSH in to my Mac as any user regardless of who's logged on physically, which leaves only GUI programs, which I never need remotely.
