It is macOS that is “different” from how people expect a “Unix”

I was surprised by that. Like the Windows 10 people who can't go
forward it sounds like Apple amy cause people with older Macs to
go to Linux.

Since Apple sells both the hardware and OS, it seems even more

It's coming from Apple Insider. I'm guessing it's probably true,
considering Apple's desire to get away from Intel CPUs. But even if not
true, there's a lot of good working Mac hardware already no longer
supported. (A lot of them are now running Linux.)
 
 

 
You mean you WANT it to be true.

I've never owned an Apple computer so it makes no difference to me; I only
found it interesting.
