I'm using Agent because I always used it.  It's one app.  I actually

Incorrect, Intel Macs can do this too with CrossOver or even just
installing Wine.  Agent is very workable with Wine.

Neither are bad things, actually.  I'm claiming that for IRC, Linux

Well, it's easier to use Wine than a VM of Win11 ARM.

Your need to use CrossOver on the Mac led you to declare Mac GUI apps

So explain why Linux apps aren't "inadequate", too.

Frankly, I retract the intent of my statement, if not its sheer truth.
macOS does OK, on these things.

And turning to your deflections:

Name such an app.

For Usenet, I've heard good things about Usenapp for macOS, never seen
it, it didn't exist when I had mine.  It may be better than what's
available for Linux GUI.  But certainly Linux has options for GUI IRC.

You're supposed to be supporting your claim that:

And with no surprise at all, you're completely failing.

If I were starting without any Windows apps, I'd want to go toward
Linux for choice, yes.  There are specific things macOS excels at, but
I'm an Internet person, simply having a quality desktop is the
experience.  It's hardly surprising I'd be running Linux.

In what way are they "better"?

Usenapp really may be a great GUI app for Usenet, like Agent,
available on macOS.  But I would still use Linux because of other
software.  Hell, on a Mac, I'd probably even get M$ Office.  But
that's kind of the point.  Now I've spent all this money on a computer
and software, that doesn't do anything better than I can with Linux
and LibreOffice.

This wasn't about what you LIKE, doofus.

Now, I don't know whether you were just referring to WiNE vs CrossOver
Mac, or apps in general, but for once in your miserable existence, try
backing up a claim you've made.

 
I actually might retract, in part, that Linux is better for a GUI IRC
client than macOS.  It's probably still technically true, but not in
the precise way I meant.  So, actually, macOS is pretty good for
Usenet and IRC support.

Or you're just realizing you've been talking bullshit for the whole time.

Essentially, I was, not entirely but essentially.
