    Sure, but you can also brew install coreutils on macOS.

    My point is only that macOS is UNIX. Linux looks a whole lot like UNIX**. But no matter how much you squint, Windows isn’t UNIX. Which is completely fine, and everyone is entitled to prefer whatever OS they choose. For me personally, macOS feels familiar. I will always choose Linux if I have the choice, but barring that, I’ll take an OS where I can rsync over my .zshrc and .vimrc with minimal shenanigans.

    **And in some cases is UNIX — EulerOS, a Linux distro, was UNIX-certified.

      But it is. WSL is linux. With most distros available. Macos with coreutils is macos with coreutils.
