macOS for personal use, Rocky Linux or Ubuntu for my servers

And what do you like about it?

[-] SemioticStandard@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

macOS is just a great OS. It's polished, and thoughtfully designed with care, as are many of the apps available for it. I like that it integrates very well with my other Apple devices. Because of its BSD underpinnings, a lot of Linux-y things work very well with it. I use the Terminal (actually Warp, but same idea) on a daily basis for different things. A lot of the tools that I know and use on my Linux servers work here as well. I can write automation for it, and apps like Raycast and Alfred make building workflows and scripts, and tying those together, really easy. It's much more secure than Windows. I also don't have to worry about stupid shit like literal fucking advertising being built into the OS, as you have with Windows.

As for Rocky Linux, well, I'm a co-founder of it (and the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation) and helped build it, so my biases there are obvious.
