that’s why i like linux but if we ever want the year of the linux desktop it needs distros to be more gui orientaded normal users get overwhelmed if they even see a terminal window for a second
no ‘year of the linux desktop’ leave it to the savvy (me, using immutable with distrobox arch), wait for ppl to get really unsatisfied with the enshittification of mainstream OS’s
OS X is literally a heavily modified version of FreeBSD with a very shiny GUI.
It ships with a terminal that has zsh installed by default, and homebrew is a decent package manager. You can write scripts for it in precisely the same way you do for Linux.
It being closed source means you can’t edit the OS itself. And there’s certainly a bunch of weird stuff that it does. But mastering linux and mastering OS X are pretty similar things.

MacOS uses Bash/ZSH…
If you write the scripts in a POSIX way, you can serve both MacOS & Linux with the same script.

You can get by just fine without the Terminal.
It’s called a GUI package manager…
People use the phrase “year of the Linux desktop” unironically?
