    Actually, it happens less on ApplerCOs platform simply because there is
    less actual rCLUnixrCY software available on that platform.

    To get access to the rCLUnixrCY software, Apple has had to add Linux
    support to its platform.

    And yet Apple gets to use the rCLUnixrCY trademark, while Linux does not.

    Ironic, donrCOt you think?

    Wrong, macOS does not need to have a Linux VM to be Unix, period. It is
    Unix. It's just *also* Apple GUI and money paid to said company.

    More specifically, Apple's production of Unix within macOS does give
    access to essentially anything that a typical Linux distro would, I
    mean, is it Linux Mint, no, but it's essentially a kind of distro, if
    you will, this gluing on of Linux with a VM strikes me more as just
    copying Microsoft with WSL 2, rather than really giving a serious Mac
    user control of the Unix side, that has been there for years and years.

    Huh? Even if that was true, what does that have to do with VLC?

    support to its platform.

    What??? Do you have any idea what you are saying?

    And yet Apple gets to use the rCLUnixrCY trademark, while Linux does not.

    Because Linux is not Unix.

    Ironic, donrCOt you think?

    Do you even know what "ironic" means?

    Seriously. WTF ARE you babbling about? And why do you always snip the
    context and attempt to change the conversation?

    This VLC issue does not happen on Apple Unix. VLC is open source and runs
    just fine on Apple Unix.

    Apple does not need to add Linux to Apple Unix. IT IS ALREADY UNIX.

    This will be hilarious.

    Lawrence is totally clueless about what MacOS is and what it can do.

    You really didnrCOt know that it is doing exactly this -- adding Linux?
