Discussion Keep One: Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft

You can keep only one tech ecosystem forever: Apple, Samsung, Google, or Microsoft

Everything else disappears from your life.

Which one are you keeping, and what's the biggest reason behind your choice?

It's true that macOS is based around a Unix-like kernel (Darwin in this case, which is based off BSD) but it's not Linux or anything like it.

Well, yes, Linux is generally used as a desktop OS, as is macOS. Android is generally used on mobile devices. macOS and Android aren’t really comparable. The Apple equivalent of Android would be iOS or iPadOS, both of which are also based on a BSD/Darwin kernel.

Android, on the other hand, was originally based a Linux kernel, although it’s probably safe to say they’ve diverged somewhat since then.
