  Huh? macOS is a lot closer to Linux than Windows.

    Being built on nix doesn’t mean it’s similar, just that they have some commands in common.

    I miss my Linux dev machine daily.

      They are both UNIXes, that’s quite a lot of similarity and I wouldn’t write it off that fast.

        The windows experience has gotten a lot closer to Ubuntu than you’d expect, what with WSL. A developer can do most of the same things you’d do on Ubuntu on Windows now. The same cannot be said for Mac.

      Completely agree, I didn’t mean to imply that macOS’ BSD foundation is exactly like Linux. It isn’t. I just think it happens to be much more similar to Linux than Windows.
