    Comments about macOS as an Alternative to Manjaro Linux

    If you want to replace Manjaro, macOS is unlikely to be the answer. macOS works best on Apple's hardware - Linux can be a challenge to run on that. MacOS is also proprietary, closed source and far less customizable. Good Manjaro alternatives might be Antergos (Arch-based), Fedora, OpenSuse, ElementaryOS or even Qubes, depending on your needs.

    Does not run on anything but Apple PCs. It is illegal to run on anything else (like a "Hackintosh").
