Not locked down at all? I'd be surprised if you can even change the wallpaper. :D
Ok yeah, you’ve never used a Mac lol why do you comment on things you have no clue about?
The first Mac I used was actually a Macintosh with a black and white screen. I don't remember the exact model. We also had iMac G3 in school and later modern iMacs at work. My wife is also a Mac owner and has worked with them.
I'm no way an Apple expert in any way, shape or form. However. I do know enough about them to know that they're ridiculously locked down to the point that you can barley call yourself an owner of your own system.
With that said. Apple computers are popular, so it's apparently a winning concept for some, but it's not something for me.
