In this case, I think the OS being closed source and kind of a "walled garden" where a company controls everything is what most Linux users dislike about Mac.
None, or at least very few of us hate on FreeBSD or OpenIndiana the way we do on macOSX, so it's not about it being UNIX. Furthermore, some Linux DEs can resemble the mac interface a bit, like GNOME, or even KDE if it's customized a certain way. Granted, GNOME does have a few haters among us, but not at the same level as Apple.
macOS: there are very few issues, but when you encounter one, itโs impossible to fix
Linux: there are lots of issues, and but they are all fixable, but each fix might be a rabbit hole of figuring out how to compile someoneโs GitHub project they seemingly abandoned 4 years ago.
But boy oh boy, do you learn things from those rabbit holes. It can be a MASSIVE pain, but I enjoy that I'm at least picking up XP points whenever I make time to fix stuff and learn more.
You need to upgrade to 11 Points. XP reached EOL a long time ago.
I knew I was walking right into that one and I'm just glad somebody went for it. Well played bro hahaha.
I did theme my KDE to look like XP on my laptop though...I miss the aesthetic, but maybe not a bunch of other things that have gotten infinitely better since then. :)
Honestly the only issues I run into on macOS are things that I'm probably doing to waste time anyway, like enable some random feature or setting that might be useful 1 in 1000 use cases and when that use case rolls around I'd have forgotten about the feature and end up doing it manually anyway.
Windows: there are very few issues, but all of them are possible to fix if you're willing to brave regedit and some random IT guy's instructions from 12 years ago on a now defunct forum
I think Darwin is still open source, and WebKit is still open source.
