## Why the hell am I running MacOS ?
|
|
|
|
Here is something quite controversial : I find Mac better than most laptops out there.
|

|
|
I know this is quite a controversial statement but, after having struggled for hours trying to make WSL work along with both mosh and my Yubikey, I basically gave up.

Though I'm still and I will always be a Linux enjoyer, you can't deny that both Mac as a piece of hardware and MacOS as an OS get the job done.

|
|
Here are the key points:
|
|
- It enables you to access the Office Suite (I know, OSS alternatives, have you ever managed to setup a Microsoft Exchange Email Client on any other app than Outlook ? I did not.)
|
|
- It natively takes advantages of it's ARM CPU architecture, offering substantially better battery performance than any x86 machine while remaining light and thin.
|
|
- MacOS as a BSD derivative is actually quite close to Linux in a daily usage. Though you might not have access to some of `ps` obscure flags, the ability to install GNU Core Utils and to use those, only by prefixing your command with `g` (`gls`, `gcat`,`gcp` and even `gchroot`) is actually pretty great.
|
|
- Mac is the only option if you need substantial amounts of RAM for both GPU and CPU usage.
|
|
- `brew` is really convenient, trust me.
