If macOS were:
• fully OSS
• able to run on any suppported PC hardware (much like Windows)
Would you use it as your daily driver?

No, the UI is fucking shit.
Jaxon Garcia
I would try it at least once.
Blake Murphy
Yes.
macOS is maximum comfy.
Nathan King
Instantly. Even if it required binary blobs.
I ran macOS on my x220 for a while. It was fantastic.
Christian Brown
Nah
I've no idea how the ui works
I used to be a freebsd admin btw
Daniel Wood
If OSS meant community driven it would be a great platform.
Isaac Sanchez
No, they are always years behind on opengl and other specs implementation
Dylan Young
Wil using macOS turns you gay?
Michael Martin
yes. If it could run games without problem as much as win can.
I prefer mOS ever since I got used to it.
Logan Cooper
nah
Wyatt Gray
Only if:
- it becomes linux without GNU bloat
Parker Barnes
Nah, it will always have undiscovered backdoors that they pass as "bugs" once they are found just to fuck over certain high profile targets while screwing the normal consumer.
Like that time they saved your admin passwords on plaintext logs, the double goto encryption shit, revealing the password of your encrypted partition, etc etc, its just plain bad on every security aspect
Mason Lopez
Even if it's not OSS, I would totally use it.
Gabriel Evans
I'd use the POWER port, sure.
Kevin Baker
Yes, doesn't even need to be open source just save the normies from Windows domination please
Connor Mitchell
If it were either of those it wouldn’t be macOS; it would be Windows or Linux.
Jordan Anderson
>bugs are part of a conspiracy
Take your meds, sweetie.
Alexander Taylor
OpenGL is EOL.
Jacob Price
What would be the supposed advantage over Ubuntu?
The tests phoronix ran with Ubuntu and MacOS on Apple hardware showed performance wouldn't be one.
Joshua Martin
More normies are comfortable with it, more software support.
Hunter Hernandez
A conspiracy is just as valid of an answer as sheer incompetency is.
Christopher Green
>More normies are comfortable with it
Yes, but I'm not one
>more software support
I'm not missing anything.
William Ward
which software? E.g. try running a recent bash on it. Have fun trying.
Owen Ward
It’s not working any more, overshilling has caused a horseshoe effect and people don’t believe all these bugs are accidental any longer.
What you need is much less and very highly targeted shilling, not this broad spectrum Jewish which you have been foisting off on us for the last, what, decades?
Fucking amateur. Affirmative action and nepotism have killed the shill game.
Carson Stewart
Yeah i would rock osx 10.9 because i love how its designed.
Landon Gray
This.
Samuel Turner
The only reason WHY macos is in its position is due to the locked down hardware. Making it run on everything will be a complete nightmare for apple.
Why don't you neets stop posting about shit that will never happen and instead apply for some jobs at mcdonalds?
Alexander Rivera
Carson Jackson
meh
Lucas Nelson
No, Linux is faster in everything, probably I just install macOS in a dualboot for very specific tasks like video editing in final cut, as main os it sucks.

macOS (hackintosh) is supported by all of my hardware and I still have my issues with it enough not to switch to it. Literally no issues, just that I want to do things I can't do without using either WINE or a virtual machine and that's slow as shit on my slow as shit PC.
Julian Morales
>I still have my issues with it enough not to switch to it. Literally no issues
Ok I'm stupid. What I meant to say is that I don't have any technical issues, bugs or lack of compatibility.
Caleb Wright
I already use it as my daily driver.
Daniel Harris
All of that + be able to play as many games as Windows can, maybe.
Nicholas Hall
Yes definitely, I don't care about games.
Julian Price
OpenGL is dead on OS X. Metal and Vulkan are supported
Caleb Torres
I was a network admin for a large state university in the late 2000's when Sun was getting out of the workstation business, 100% of the professors who were using Sun asked for an imac instead.
Adrian Torres
>fully OSS
Change that to fully free and you've got yourself a deal.
Leo Miller
Personally no, but I would recommend it to tech illiterate family/friends instead of making them live with Windows or help them troubleshoot Ubuntu.
Hell, only reason I don't already do that is the cost involved.
Josiah Myers
>tech illiterate family/friends
It's funny how macos fill almost every niche from the tech normies to complete CS UNIX geeks.
They really do have a great product. No wonder they killed Solaris.
Ayden Gomez
>fully OSS
OSS is not FOSS nor FLOSS
Jordan Perez
But they do all belong in the trash.
Ryan Howard
No. I used OS X daily for work. It is better for work than Windows. However, it's still like using a shitty Linux distro with less customization options.
Owen Anderson
You're mom!
Carson Taylor
>Metal and Vulkan are supported
Only Metal and OpenGL are supported. In the future, only Metal will be supported. Vulkan on OSX is implemented through a third party library called MetalVK.
Chase James
Its supported by Khronos :^)
