    Isn’t this basically the banana cultivation problem of computing? Linux has pretty good genetic diversity with mutations and speciation happening on the regular, MacOS doesn’t have that variety, but is a genetically engineered abomination that’s regularly gene-edited to patch problems out.

    As for Windows, I’d say it’s the Cavendish banana of operating systems.

      I just called Microsoft and their support line confirmed that they are, indeed, a banana.

      Nah, most things people try to run work no problem.

      It sounds like trying to install dependencies for libraries for R on Linux. 🤮

      I actually had a version of linux fail to run on linux recently: software updates were failing because the newest OS version updated some directories and file structures, and downgrading would require doing manually.
