Congrats on switching. I'm stuck on Windows, and it's just awful to use, and feels super slow. -

Oh. Yes my newish Windows laptop is far slower than my 11+ year old Linux desktop, I had no idea why, other than a vague feeling that Windows is badly made. -

Apples desktop OS is very different today than it was back then. It was still on the power arch, may well have been pre-darwin, I don’t think clang was a thing back then, it was considered a significantly less important build targets then than now, the development story and things like homebrew or ports were either not widespread and polished or didn’t exist yet. A lot of the best parts of OS X weren’t a thing back then. -

OSX has always run on Darwin, and Power PC was the shit in the early 2000s.
The only real difference imo was tcsh was the default shell instead of BASH. -

I am glad you're enjoying your BSD debauchery OS. -

Yes, you'll note I said "Apple's desktop OS" though. I'm pretty sure mac OS 9 and before were not Darwin based. Although "classic mac" was apparently obselessed in 2001 so ehh.
Regardless of what you think of the power architecture on a technical level (and I do definitely think it has some cool stuff in it, even today) it wasn't really an advantage in market given x86 is so heavily commodified (and was even back then AFAIK).
