Well technically we Mac users are running Linux BSD tucked away under a shiny
bubbly interface.
Just enable "root user" and open up the command line shell and run your
mac from its "gut" with unix Line commands if that makes you you feel special.
just be aware that you will have the ability to alter/delete critical system files
that can disable your entire OS.
So know what you are doing!!!
I am a big fan of open source alternatives to commercial software
in fact I am slowly but like becoming a full fledged "blender head"
But as long as the big commercial software makers dominate
the market including the area of third party add ons,
most people needing real world jobs/careers in technology need to know and use what the prevailing industries are using.
"Linux is going nowhere (just like Blender and GIMP, it's here to stay), and will eventually be the main OS most people use on their home systems. Commercial OS don't stand a chance against these things, and only the future will prove that to you."
Because Blender,Gimp and Linux are free???
By that logic Poser is also Doomed then
Since Daz studio pro free.
now has a better secondary render engine
Better nonlinear character animation system
more versatileand better looking default figures.
it can access my OLD poser 6 mac formatted runtime without Adobe Air/Flash
it has an officially supported direct bridge to Iclone
the same game content export options to unity,unreal etc as the
paid poser "game dev"version etc etc.
Yet people still shell out money for poser because they just prefer it over that free program
the same will remain true for users of Windows and OSX.
Now and in the future.
