Windows Terminal Source Code

This is a straw man, and also not entirely accurate. Darwin is BSD, and in theory just as useful as BSD, or FreeBSD, NetBSD, and useful to developers, and to anyone that can figure out how to install it and use it. [1] Meanwhile, Windows without hardware less than 2 years old is absolutely worthless. Thus, Linux.

This is false. Source: Installed Windows 11 from official Microsoft ISO on a laptop from 2016 (6 years old) and runs buttery smooth.

Please stop spreading FUD like this.

If it were not true, Linux would never have become popular. Linux evolved beyond quickly fixing what Microsoft broke to take over the server space, but that was Linux's first practical reason for existing, to mitigate the problems with Windows slowly dying after about 2 years of being installed and used daily.

That is not my experience at all.

This seems like a massive exaggeration. I am currently running Windows 10 on a refurbished laptop I bought in 2012! (So, actual hardware is even older).

Is there a comparison of Darwin to other BSDs?
