All I know is Macintosh sucks. :twisted:
You prove his point.
OS X is actually a pretty great OS. Windows 10 is also a pretty great OS.
Everything else is a pain in the ass to deal with on a daily basis, and requires fancy tricks to get basic things to play well.
It would be swell if Apple got back to the open source contributions of Darwin and help facilitate an open-source build of what is essentially OS X. Sure, Apple doesn't get to sell their hardware, but they could still help to try and sell their services, or perhaps leave all of the Apple-specific stuff out (much like open-source Android builds lack Google integration), as that could help be the key differentiation that helps draw people form the open source build to the official stuff, for the extra features.
OS X is the best, most practical Unix-like OS in the consumer-facing world. That is huge, because outside of it, compatibility and simplicity go out the window, and it becomes a pain in the ass to deal with things unless you hardly do anything that revolves around working on any kind of project that requires paid-for software. The libre movement can't handle everything, can't match everything paid.
Get an OS X-like OS into the world, that maintains compatibility with OS X software, minus perhaps most Apple ecosystem features, and that would more likely end up on most "Hackintosh" builds than OS X itself, especially if it makes an easier job of compatibility with other hardware. I'd love that, myself, and that would actually go a long way toward getting people into the Unix-like ecosystem, which would only be positive for Unix development, which is surely what any open source fan would like to see.
