      Are Linux users really working in the kernel all that much? I’ve been doing support for Linux sysadmins for a decade and not once have I needed to touch the kernel.

          Okay, that makes more sense. Though the amount of trouble I’ve heard Linux folks have with Nvidia stuff shouldn’t mean that it’s not Linux. Just that Nvidia sucks.

          Also, Vulkan seems to have a ton of support for Apple Silicon.

          And finally, Mac OS has been certified Unix 03 since 2009 except for version 10.7

      You typically don’t need, and should not have access to the kernel, however, as there are custom kernels for android, it is possible. In fact, Android is far the best operating sytem ever created. Fast, highly secure, portable linux in your pocket, that is open-source, widely used, easy to use, and you can easily have full control over it, provided the hardware is allowing to unlock the bootloader
