I always thought people had to pay for every update and upgrade, this company being apple, but just yesterday I found out the upgrade from 10 to 11 is free (don’t know about an upgrade from 11 to 12, are upgrades to the newest and still supported macOS version free?)
What other applications do macOS users get for free?
Do macOS users get more free apps if they create an account with apple?
I’ve understood adobe and MS-Office are active at the mac app store. How does apple’s business model work? Do I buy the app, pay once and get free updates and upgrades indefinitely? or do I have to pay them a monthly fee?
Can LibreOffice be used on a macOS?
Is there an emulator to use ubuntu or windows based apps on a mac? Are they free of charge?
Why would XCode be a problem? But I fully understand that for FOSS projects - especially without easy&cheap Mac CI solutions you’re back in the 90s of manual testing etc…

Oh I absolutely agree that it’s really bad, but for most (non-ios) things you Don have to use it?
Nope. You have to use it for MacOS too if you want it to be properly native and integrate fully, without doing it this way you’re putting the Mac version at a disadvantage. It’s why Heartbound only natively supports Windows & Linux. Jason T. Hall (Pirate Software) has never been involved in developing IOS games.
Yeah we’re talking about different kinds of software. I’m mainly talking about CLI software and it seems like I didn’t notice that Jetbrains killed Appcode…
