Still wishing for the day apple is split into the hardware and the software company. I want their silicon, but I will never use their (arguably terrible) operating system. If I can't run my own kernel and kernel modules then it's a device that I don't own. Firmware is alright in some cases, but my laptop next to me is running core boot just to prove a point.

But you can run your own kernel on Macs, no? Isn‘t driver support the issue?

(arguably terrible) operating system

macOS has made some arguably poor design choices, but it makes it hard to take someone seriously when they state the whole OS is terrible.

macOS is not perfect but I don't think anyone could seriously argue that it is terrible.
