Tbh i have used linux on my home pc for years now and now they are very polished products , except most corporate apps are not there !
Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

Android isn’t in that list if you’re using something like LineageOS or GrapheneOS.

I suspect that’s a fraction of a percent of Android devices, though.

That doesn’t matter, where is popularity mentioned as a disqualifier? it should be mentioned for those that might be interested to know that they have an option for privacy. I hate the defeatist attitude that everything tracks, so why try? It’s wrong, I use LineageOS and Linux and FOSS apps/software and selfhost services… if it’s something you care about, you can regain control and privacy over your data.

I mean… Android and ChromeOS are Linux underneath. MacOS is… related to Unix. Hang on, I need to look up that lineage…
Also Lineage.
Edit: MacOS used/uses the Mach kernel, and uses code “derived from BSD”, vague as Wikipedia is. That could mean it’s a whole copy-paste or that it just borrows ideas from BSD.

It has a history in the US anti trust (when the laws really worked)

MacOS has userland tools from some FreeBSD version (quite obsolete, IIRC). Also there’s a port of bhyve called xhyve for MacOS. Its kernel I wouldn’t expect to have much in common with BSDs.
