for my particular use case — a headless, always-on Mac Mini that I primarily access from other computers and my phone through the ChatGPT and Claude apps — macOS is incredibly hostile. The biggest issue is GUI-only permission prompts that are invisible to software running on said computer, including agents.

The company who arguably popularized the GUI wants people using the GUI? I’m shocked. I’m not one of the Linux fanboys but Just. Run. Linux.
