AFAIK manufacturers don't have to pay for Linux And if MacOS is really free you would be able to manufacture and sell devices using it but there is not a single one

That’s not what free means here. “Free“ as in costs no money for the user. Can download and install it without having to pay for it. Because it is free. You’re using the word “free” to means something obviously different than what I’m talking about.

MacOS is free just like Windows is free (the license is included in your purchase of the hardware). Except windows isn’t free. It cost is enumerated on the invoice. macOS is not. Because it is free.

So yeah idk

Obviously, you don’t know because you keep saying things that are very, obviously not true. Are you feeling OK?
