Mhmm... A POSIX compliant OS which is bundled with a calibrated high gamut screen, low latency audio stack, and relatively high speed networking with good thread scheduling, great memory management and tremendous uptime numbers for a personal computer.

...a toy OS which becomes invisible most of the time for serious users indeed.

I prefer Linux over anything else, but let's be real.

Excellent reply. I hate windows viscerally, but I would also not call it toy. Neither Linux, FreeBSD, Windows (and many others) are toys. Linux, BTW, started as a toy, but is far from it now.

so basically a Linux less free and less customizable that only runs on a single platform and architecture (ok, let's make it 2!) and still as it seems has some serious bad security bug that no other OS has

I have been using Linux Desktop for 2 decades. It has worked by and large fine. The freedom is amazing!

It has been for many years. At least for people who are inclined to have technical interest

Linux on desktop has been ready for years now, it absolutely shreds apple and microsofts offerings, ubuntu desktop is about as schmick as it gets regardless of your views of the parent company.

Mac on the other hand is an absolute nightmare to administer for clients. Same with their phones. Printing from web browser on a Mac? Completely broken. Have to save everything to desktop and open it from there. It's an absolute joke. Wanna use your 7 year old Mac to browse the web? Oh wait you can't because the os blocks it. Legit joke of a product.
