It has been 7 years since Valve revealed Proton, their compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux systems. What an incredible time it has been.

    The last version of MacOS I used was $130 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Tiger

      And in my original comment, I said they hadn’t charged for it in about 15 years. And it’s been almost exactly 15 years.

        Sure, and if you got modern hardware with Windows 7 on it in 2009 then you had up-to-date free Windows since 16 years.

          So what? That still doesn’t mean that macOS isn’t free.

        Just because they stopped selling it doesn’t mean it’s free

          It’s free because it’s free, not because you can’t seem to wrap your head around that fact. Or whatever pretzel branded maneuvering you’re trying to do to validate your position

          macOS is free. There’s really no way you can twist that to be untrue. Not without making stuff up.

              A fact is a fact. I’m sorry that’s difficult for you to wrap your head around.
