i mean, macos is just unix, and you will do a lot of tinkering given how many bad defaults it's got, and how many weird foibles etc. I have a script which fixes all my file assignments after a brew upgrade because macos grabs them back when the old application is uninstalled, for example, plus about five third-party apps living in my toolbar (plus bartender to manage them all etc).
idk why people think macos is super locked down, it's not at all like the phones. the reason the AI revolution is happening on Apple second is because there's actually an enormous amount of technical people using macos these days. if they couldn't run a python script how would pytorch have ever happened etc?

...is because Apple goes out of their way to arbitrarily disable your ability to run Nvidia drivers?
So much for "not locked down" I guess. But at least they still lets you install apps for free, it's nothing like the phones. How generous.
I loathe cellphones, though, so I have an iPhone. It is fine. It belongs to Apple really. Someday maybe it will be easy enough to put together something like a Raspberry Pi cellphone. But, for now, I’ll just rent one from Apple and let them handle everything.
They make fine devices for people who don’t like that type of device. No wonder they are doing so well, people who hate tech is a huge market, and we’re doing our best to expand it every day.
