  • Vulkan has hacked in support, but not official support. It’s like saying that because I can hack in Flash on macOS, that must mean that it has tons of support. Two different things.

    And macOS is Unix certified, but that doesn’t make it Unix (I know, it’s complicated…) To help show this, EulerOS (from Huawei) is a Linux OS.

    EulerOS is a high-security, highly scalable, high-performance, open enterprise Linux operating system

    Its was also Unix 03 certified, just like macOS. Even though it’s Linux, not Unix.


  • I mis-phrased that, sorry. In the Android case, you can’t access a lot of networking functionality and other lower level access functions.

    Running ifconfig responses with:

    Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (Permission denied). Limited output.

    Even though it is based on Linux, and has access to the ifconfig app, it’s not really something you can do. There are other things to consider like that. While you could try to give yourself root access, it’s messy and not something that’s really easy or encouraged.

    In macOS’s case, it’s Unix to a point, but try installing NVIDIA cards in them (for CUDA cores). There are Unix drivers for Nvidia cards, for x86 and ARM, but even thought it’s Unix, it still won’t work.

    How about running native Vulcan? It’s a major API for 3D graphics. It has a Unix driver, but still can’t work on macOS. Best that can be done is workarounds, but that’s not native and has issues.

    There is Unix support for these, but macOS isn’t really Unix underneath.





  • Interesting as the same can be said disproving it. Fun.

    So, go ahead. We are waiting, and as you say, it’ll be fun so there isn’t much stopping you.

    I apparently Have a list.

    Yes, a made up one. We have already acknowledged that. Thank you for repeating it.

    Also, as for you going outside and your electric apprenticeship, maybe try to stop licking the lead solder. It’ll help with your thinking.

    And if you’re making terrible money, you are either a first year or getting badly ripped off. It was explicitly mentioned about that issue when I was in trade school of too many people making big bucks in their 2nd+ year and quickly out spending their means, from the shock of suddenly getting big paychecks.
