MacOS is a prison

As a person who likes owning my computer and having control over the OS that runs on it I agree!

What kind of stuff would you want to do on Linux?

For general document editing, there is LibreOffice and OpenOffice
For gaming, there is Proton and WINE
For programming, there is massive support for code editors, compilers, and interpreters

Exactly. There's this thing called “options”. You don't have to use the proprietary software made by big corporations.

If I ended up on a computer running Windows, I would use Linux. I am talking about people who want to keep using software made by big corporations. BTW, the software I use has Linux support (cause I can use it online), and I am happy to use alternatives for some software like Safari. ( I can actually make Firefox look like Safari, and also Linux entirely.) I was talking about people thinking that Chrome is the only browser that exists. (Chrome is supported in Linux anyway(but I won’t use it.).)

you use safari? I just use chrome on my mac and if I was gonna use something else it would be firefox.

I know I was just talking about people who think there are no alternatives to the service to use.

I found that Steam supports Linux. What is Proton and WINE.
And the software I use has Linux support anyway, but I can’t install anything on 20GB remaining laptop. Not even Linux itself.

Perhaps Arch. It's a simple distro without a GUI that has a package manager and terminal and login screen built in.

Don't most, if not all Linux distros have login screens?

All Linux distributions TTYs. These present a login screen. Also, Arch only doesn't have a GUI if the user hasn't installed one. It doesn't have a standard out of the box configuration, its how the user sets it up.

It could be more user-friendly for non-technical people.

By the way I use MacOS but if my parents would get me Linux then I would switch to that. I have gotten experience with Unix because of using MacOS.
