all of these operating systems do the same thing. if you try to look for selling points you wont see any because they're practically identical.

use? no. janitor? yes, parents have an imac, which is the first and last computer that managed to gently caress up so hard in casual use that i couldn't save it, and that had to be brought thrice into the apple dealer service centre until they figured out that when it first poo poo the bed, it synced corrupted disk sectors to time capsule, so, when brought home, it would keep killing itself on resync
