The thing about Mac is you are only capable of using software that..What!?!
I've been working with Linux, Windows, BSD systems and Macs for about 16 years.
"The thing about Mac is you are only capable of using software that Apple says is okay most of the time, or you have slim options with open source applications, you don't get the same vast pool as Windows or Linux by any means."
While I partially agree in regard of gaming options in OS X, almost all major titles end up being released for OS X too, only minor titles are the ones missing.
But what you say about open source is plainly absurd, I'm afraid based on lack of first hand experience.
OS X it's an unix OS, more exactly, *BSD based. "Slim options with open source applications"? almost ALL can be built and run on OSX, from the smaller CLI utility to anything. Do some googling about darwin.
Is in *nix opensource apps where windows is lacking, not OS X, where almost any source tarball can be extracted, ./configure'd and make'd just as if you were in any *BSD system or Linux. No need to port anything, and obviously Apple cannot control what you build or install in your computer...
I think what you say applies only to *not jailbroken* iOS devices...
