Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

Do they really think we believe any of their lies? We don't control macOS, iOS, anti-libre software (it fails to include a libre software license text file, like AGPL). Dangerous! 🚩

So I'm confused on what your point is

They control it, not us. It's anti-libre, dangerous.

That isn't the case though

I literally run it on my own hardware. Zero proprietary software is needed.

macOS is proprietary.

I don't use MacOS. Never did I say I use Mac OS

It sounds like you may be lacking an understanding. I run Debian in a VM that has Ollama and OpenWebUI. The base OS is Linux I just use VMs to separate everything out.
