Darwin lacks a great userland. It's really just the kernel.

And macOS itself I don't use anymore, it's become too locked-down and too minimalistic for me. I want full control over my computer. So I'm on FreeBSD now for my main driver.

However running it on an ARM Mac would be an option for me if it were well supported.

Yes I know macOS is POSIX certified.

But the entire OS is certainly not FOSS and it limits me very much in what I can do with my computer, unless I switch off its security completely. It's an all or nothing model.

POSIX compliance is not something I actually care about. Having full control of my computer is.
