MacOS

MacOS is a proprietary, non-backwards compatible operating system by Apple well received by ex-developers for its POSIX compliance.

MacOS Essential Apps[edit]

While KDE is "Simple by default, powerful when needed", MacOS is "Simple by default" and stops there. If you're a power user (or a user with basic needs besides running a single app), there's a few essential services to make MacOS somewhat productive:

  • Background Music - Control application's volume individually
  • Unnatural Scroll Wheels - Keep MacOS trackpad gestures while having sane mouse input
  • Rectangle - Get some very basic window tiling
  • AltTab - Can you believe scrolling through windows rather than Apps isn't a thing?

Note: Due to Apple's toxic relationship with developers, these apps may cease to function at any time. Feel free to update the list with alternatives.

MacOS Gestures[edit]

MacOS gestures are one of the best pieces in the operating system. To enable similar gestures on Linux, check out Fusuma.

Verdict And Conclusion[edit]

Our verdict and conclusion is Not Good. MacOS lacks the quality, customization, and developer experience to be considered a high quality operating system for anyone outside the beginner range. See more details in Macs & MacOS: Greener Grass?
