So, I have an iPhone, which I like, but we use Windows and Linux computers in our household. I’d never seen a Mac boot up until the other day after a friend gave me their old Mac Mini. I was excited to check it out, got it all set up and logged in – but it really just seemed like a giant iPhone regarding what it did and could do (meaning, I would just stick with Windows and Linux for our computing needs, rather than swap over to the Mac). I was disappointed.
What am I missing?
That you can natively run most linux console app sand development tools on a Mac as it is a unix compatible kernel under the hood since OS X.
Also, Apple treats you like the owner of an OSX device (mostly).
You can install software from any source.
There are no restrictions on what type of browser can exist on it.
You can replace core system functionality with better alternatives.
Got confused at first thinking you were contrasting OSX with Linux. Then I realized you’re contrasting OSX with iOS and your comment made more sense.
