I always thought people had to pay for every update and upgrade, this company being apple, but just yesterday I found out the upgrade from 10 to 11 is free (don’t know about an upgrade from 11 to 12, are upgrades to the newest and still supported macOS version free?)
What other applications do macOS users get for free?
Do macOS users get more free apps if they create an account with apple?
I’ve understood adobe and MS-Office are active at the mac app store. How does apple’s business model work? Do I buy the app, pay once and get free updates and upgrades indefinitely? or do I have to pay them a monthly fee?
Can LibreOffice be used on a macOS?
Is there an emulator to use ubuntu or windows based apps on a mac? Are they free of charge?
Instead of worrying about if you can emulate Ubuntu, I would suggest you should research UNIX, and in particular how macOS is certified UNIX so “under the hood” on the command line it works a lot like Linux since Linux is UNIX inspired (GNU literally stands for Gnu’s Not UNIX).
Yeah and you can even have a Linux like experience with nix.
But it’s a lot like Linux except when it isn’t… There’s a lot of little differences. And things like cross compiling from MacOs to non-Mach targets really sucks because it seems like often people do not really maintain such a usecase.
A lot of devs have abandoned the idea of supporting or using Mac because of Xcode and difficulty cross-compiling.
Why would XCode be a problem? But I fully understand that for FOSS projects - especially without easy&cheap Mac CI solutions you’re back in the 90s of manual testing etc…

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Oh I absolutely agree that it’s really bad, but for most (non-ios) things you Don have to use it?
Nope. You have to use it for MacOS too if you want it to be properly native and integrate fully, without doing it this way you’re putting the Mac version at a disadvantage. It’s why Heartbound only natively supports Windows & Linux. Jason T. Hall (Pirate Software) has never been involved in developing IOS games.
Yeah we’re talking about different kinds of software. I’m mainly talking about CLI software and it seems like I didn’t notice that Jetbrains killed Appcode…
MacOS is a BSD variant, right? BSD is basically Linux anyway - and it’s also where Windows stole their networking code from (specifically, it’s why Windows has a directory called
etcwith a file in it calledhosts)
