    Mac OS is Apple to oranges against windows when it comes to OS support?

    Conveniently skipped that part and focused on Debian…

      No, it’s not apples to oranges because Mac and windows are both paid support.

      If you want to compare apples to apples, then sure, Mac is better than windows. That’s a low bar to beat though. I was comparing apples to oranges, which was a comparison in paid vs free support.

      But yes, macs desktop environment and user experience hasn’t taken half as much of a dump as windows. But they’re also based on Linux, and don’t have to make the same commitments windows does

        macOS is not based on Linux, it’s based on FreeBSD (and other BSD) userspace and the Mach kernel. AFAIK, there isn’t any Linux code there.
