So, I have an iPhone, which I like, but we use Windows and Linux computers in our household. I’d never seen a Mac boot up until the other day after a friend gave me their old Mac Mini. I was excited to check it out, got it all set up and logged in – but it really just seemed like a giant iPhone regarding what it did and could do (meaning, I would just stick with Windows and Linux for our computing needs, rather than swap over to the Mac). I was disappointed.

What am I missing?

    Mac can run windows apps via wine. Run plenty of Linux binaries via the terminal or gui. The App Store and same applications that are on iPhone/iPad are there but it’s really one of the more powerful systems out there. Headless Ubuntu/Debian > MacOS > Ubuntu/Debian with a GUI > windows IMO.
