like what if linux still was open source but had a lot of proprietary dependencies and packages and became more popular and therefore proprietary software came to it?? but it still would let you use any desktop environment and there would be a new proprietary desktop environment which was like gnome but easier
I think that’s called a mac
But Mac is BSD
Mac is based on BSD. It itself isn’t not BSD as I can’t rip out the parts from a mac install that are proprietary only to Apple and still have a running system. OSX uses a kernel called the XNU kernel. Where The XNU stands for X is not Unix. If that doesn’t scream loud in Clear it’s not BSD I don’t know what does.
Didn’t know! Thanks for explaining
You are welcome I’m glad you got to be the lucky 10,000
That’s cute of you to think of :)
MacOS is open-source in its core?
Yeah it’s based off of Darwin
