macOS has had free upgrades since OS X Mavericks in 2013. Yea we can squirrel around the specificity of this (e.g. is it really free if you have to pay $99 to update Parallels?) but in pragmatic terms the actual OS has largely been free for consumer use.
I generally get the idea being communicated, but its content is so out of date at this point.
Shhhhhh don’t say that, apple bad!
Is Linux really free if you have to pay for that data recovery suite some people use?
It is totally wrong, OSX also forces you to restart after every update.
about 1/3 of my ubuntu updates do as well. I could individually restart the 11 services it failed to stop and start while updating…or i can reboot.
All cool on GNU/Linux until the latest kernel breaks something or the driver package that you have installed drops support for your GPU because fuck you.
