> everything is unified around that in MacOS by making the apps images and then leaving non-window apps to either daemons or console scripts

I have been using Macs since the late '80s and have no idea what you mean by "making the apps images".

Also, to me, "non-window app" sounds like "menu bar app".

> This person is new to computers in general and maybe is a longtime windows-user

Kinda feel like you have to pick one stereotype there or the other, pardner, but not both.




Not really chief. You can use internet explorer, Word, and browse websites for 10+ years and that makes you a longtime windows user.

Now, tell me, does someone who browses Facebook in IE and learns a lot of windows commands going to understand why another operating system does things differently?

They won’t, because they’re new to computers, and are still, shocker, logically a longtime windows user.

You can be pedantic about my terminology but the logic is sound.
