lol. What? Unless your personal computer is actually a backend server for heavy infrastructure, then a Mac can probably do it.

Computers are just tools, and a personal computer running MacOS can do more or less the same as one running Windows. One tool might be better optimized than the other, like gaming on Windows, but that's about it.

Now, you might strongly prefer one, or not know how accomplish what you want on the other, but that doesn't mean it can't do it. It just means you don't know how.

MacOS would be a complete write-off except thankfully it has some POSIX compatibility and standard Unix tools work on it (with varying degrees of success, but much more success than trying to create Unix environments on Windows)

If it didn't have that then it'd be as useless as Windows

I have a top end gaming PC with an RTX 4090. Does Mac even install Nvidia drivers? It sure as fuck doesn't run games!

Apple will gladly do everything in their power to make developers resent creating things for macs, but they are compensating it by porting Proton to it now.
