Are you like this with cars too? “Gosh there’s just so many brands and models to choose from, I wish there was just one choice so I didn’t have to think or make a decision”


With cars, they all do one thing good: drive. The other features are just that: features. With Windows vs macOS vs Linux, you’re dealing with software incompatibility and having to find replacements.


Oh, like parts incompatabilities between say Ford vs BMW vs Toyota when having to find replacements?


No, more along the lines of street and highway incompatibilities. "Software equivalents" mostly aren't.


Okay, why is it like street and highway incompatabilities? Don't they all drive on the same internet superhighway?
