So, I have an iPhone, which I like, but we use Windows and Linux computers in our household. I’d never seen a Mac boot up until the other day after a friend gave me their old Mac Mini. I was excited to check it out, got it all set up and logged in – but it really just seemed like a giant iPhone regarding what it did and could do (meaning, I would just stick with Windows and Linux for our computing needs, rather than swap over to the Mac). I was disappointed.

What am I missing?

    Terminal
    Xcode
    Homebrew
    … it is equivalent if not more powerful than Windows and Linux, underneath MacOS is BSD. If you into iPhone and the ecosystem like Watches, Airpods and stuffs, the integration is seamless.
