macOS is actually great, offering a solid Unix base with a polished GUI. The Terminal works out of the box, most Linux tools run natively, and Homebrew handles everything— brew install everything. Little Snitch gives you full control over network traffic and yabai brings tiling WM behavior straight to macOS. Apple Silicon is insanely efficient, you can push heavy apps like Ableton or ZBrush without any thermal drama. It’s one of the few platforms where you can go full dev mode and run pro-grade creative software without compromise. If you’re feeling bold, you can even sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0" and nuke macOS telemetry
/top tier Linux:
KISS Linux – Created by the same guy who did Neofetch and the Pure Bash Bible. It’s literally all about keeping things barebones: no bloat, no systemd, just the essentials. (This distro’s so light you can rm -rf / and still be good, probably.) The creator’s now farming, but the distro still alive if you want a minimal Linux setup.
SFS (Zen LFS) - Made by a TempleOS user. Pure nirvana. echo "The universe is infinite; let’s compile peace" | tee /dev/serenity
