Well I think somebody did that already with one distro but it's not fully working scenario yet. There is no bootcamp on M* Macs anymore.

VM works but that's not what one may one.

But hey, it's FreeBSD/Darwin underhood. what you may not like in UI is one thing, terminal is quite linux alike, especially if you start getting some typical linux packages via homebrew.

I find many things MacOS annoying, especially with stuff downloaded from internet that I decide to trust and MacOS always pushes me to 'xattr -r -c [app root folder]' to even try it.

But well.. those are the times we live in.. internet cannot be trusted and empowerment continually means you need a proper posix terminal to play around.

And Macs have it!
