> I genuinely wasn't aware of what advantages macOS offers

It's been out for a while.. why are you interested in the debate if you've come this far, have no idea, but want to lead with a counter-assertion?

Again, my comment wasn't isolated. It was a response to the article. In that article, the person was concerned with tracking down 500+ potentially unneeded processes, and lamenting the difficulty and time consuming nature of doing so.

Perhaps I could have phrased my question better, but what I'm really asking is: for that type of user, why would you pick macOS over Linux when such things are trivial (relatively speaking) in Linux by comparison. Note that I didn't ask "what advantages does macOS have?" I qualified it with: "which makes it worth sacrificing the ability to run your machine the way you want?". I wasn't suggesting that there are no advantages at all. Nuance matters here.

Why are we making personal attacks, instead of simply listing all of the unique system-selling features in macOS?
