Not quite. They’ve tried to adapt some iOS stuff to Mac now that iOS is by farther bigger operating system, but Max are at the core Unix, and you can access everything. You have a zsh shell and can do whatever you want with it. For instance if you get sick of the music app opening, just go remove the x flag from the executable. Can’t do that on an iPad. It’s really quite a capable desktop operating system and after using Linux for 15 years, I decided that I was tired of spending six days a year trying to configure my sound card and I’ve been pretty happy with a MacBook.
Seems kind of drastic. In my experience, most people who have a problem with MacOS are simply not devoting enough effort to learning to use it. I was used to switching between Windows and every single desktop environment and window manager imaginable for Linux so using a Mac has never been remotely difficult or stressful for me. It’s a hell of a lot more familiar than Windows given that it has a real terminal.

I’m glad it’s working for you, but I would rather cut my hands off than use a Mac again
