BSD might be an option. But this post is basically meant to ask the following question:

Windows or Mac, which OS do you dislike less?

For me, it’s Windows. Microsoft is shit, but at least there’s some flexibility in terms of how I can use my system and what hardware I can use it on.

Of course not. Remember when Apple was all about privacy but then got caught allowing third parties to listen to your Siri voice clips?

Or how iOS doesn’t actually have any browser other than Safari? All browsers are just a skin over Safari.

Apple makes sure all of your data is funneled through them. I mean shit, even a ton of Linux distros aren’t any better. Does Ubuntu still enable Amazon search by default?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
