Though many open-source programs can be installed and run on macOS, most of them are not system utility apps. Even though the App Store has many free applications, most of them contain in-app purchases, locking most of the features. Linux's users are blessed with many open-source alternative options, but in the macOS world, most of what the user requires is paid and commercial solutions. Though it increased my productivity, unlike Linux, there were fewer options for optimization and customization and system utilities. The system is stable, responsive and fast. As a Linux user for so many years and a regular macOS user for the last 7 years, It is very hard to deal with the dilemma of limitation and free open-source programs for macOS.
