What, Fedora?

No, Mac. Since this is, after all, a story about VS on Mac, and you didn't make it clear in your comment, it was an inferrence I made.

Alright, well, since we've veered off on this tangent, I prefer Fedora. Between macOS and Windows, I prefer macOS...though I may never get used to the new capitalization scheme. But I don't see why any of that should be a reason to want to boot multiple operating systems in virtual machines. How do the two subjects relate?

I think the relation is that Apple is even more guilty of the thing you were complaining about Microsoft doing.

Uh, I guess? But where did I say I develop Mac apps? God, do I have to lowercase mac now?

I'm not sure where this is getting confusing. You complained that Microsoft's Mac offering doesn't make Windows apps. It was then observed that this is an ironic complaint because development for Apple platforms is way more locked down.

Allow me to rebut: Someone else being bad isn't a reason to be bad. Ok, so it's a reason, but it's not a great reason. Ok, so maybe it's a great reason, but it's not a good reason. Also that's not what irony means. Ok, so maybe it's what a kind of irony means, but only in a new transgenerational sense where someone else implied to themselves something that I never said. Ah, you know what, that's definitely situational irony.
