It seems like your entire decision comes down to the BSD userland? Which is the exact same as you’d get in, eg, FreeBSD. If you’re that wound up about it, why not ‘brew install coreutils’ and then add the optional command in the install err

Ssds don’t hold data for 10 years so there’s a strong possibility that in fact it would not “boot up just fine”. If there’s critical keys that have been lost etc it might indeed be unrecoverable, especially in this era of automatic bitlocke

This talking point is outdated. AMD has been shipping 5nm CPUs for a year now. The 3nm parts have just barely dropped in phones due to process delays and poor yields (N3B will miss targets and only N3E will meet the original N3 targets a ye
