Initial experience with a Mac feels underwhelming.

The operating system costs $300 alone. The machine itself was $700. I understand why Apple charges so much, but I wish I had better equipment for this. I don’t need a laptop.
These days people refer to operating systems in three ways at once: OS, GUI, and command line. Windows has reached version 5 for command line, possibly moving toward version 6, which would be tough since there are only a few strong contenders. OSX and Windows often compete for the best GUI, with OSX usually coming out on top according to judges, while Windows still performs well. Freeware Linux and BSD systems like GNOME and KDE tend to follow closely behind, though opinions vary. I’m not satisfied with any of these systems right now. There was a time when Windows was last in this category, but it has improved. I imagined they were really battling and even surpassing Apple until Windows 10 impacted my graphics card. I don’t know where things stand currently. I’m hoping they’re not leading, just out of a sense of general disappointment and a wish for better times.
Bash? Haha, I actually recall bash. It was the original Bourne Again Shell. It served as an upgrade for bsh, which was better than sh. That’s surprising—20 or 30 years old? Surely everything has a command prompt now. Probably means DOS. There are countless different shells out there. Bash and PowerShell offer two options, while a command prompt doesn’t exist.
