Now, if only macOS still had the ability to drop to a Darwin shell without a GUI at all… we could just have a nice UNIX with something like KDE or COSMIC, brew as our package manager… what a dream.

But why MacOS then? If you take away the interface what differentiates Darwin from FreeBSD or GNU?
That it will actually run on Apple Silicon.
TBH, I would love to install GNU or BSD on my M4 Max Mac Studio. What I really wanted is a modern UNIX workstation. My Studio’s price/performance was the best available, so that’s what I bought. Now, I am happy with that purchase except for the constant diminution in software quality from Apple.
If I could buy modern apple hardware and run the Linux of my choice, I probably would. I have 0 interest in the apple ecosystem.
I wish I could get an Apple SoC in a 2013 Thinkpad chassis.
Performance on apple chipsets!
Yeah, why stick to the inferior kernel used by macs with a worse package manager? Like something like nix is just superior in every sense.
On intel macs there used to be single user mode, but even then I don't think you ever had control over the framebuffer.
