This. When it comes to desktops, macOS is a national railroad, Linux is a model railroad in someone's basement.

>macOS is a national railroad

It's too bad that it's Amtrak and not Japan Railways.

Desktops are not railroads, Internet servers are. Considering that the overwhelming majority of Internet servers are running Linux and practically none of them are running macOS, I find this analogy to be hilariously wrong.

Even among developers, only ~25% of them run a Mac. Linux has that many developers and the rest is Windows.

I noted that here:

It's less than 25% among general users...
