OS X does not have a way to manage installed software, a huge
weakness compared to Fedora. It may be simpler to install software on
OS X, but it is not better.
Patching is better.
OS X patches, or updates as they are called, are bundled into
batches. That doesn't make them "better" , just less granular. That
also makes updating less flexible. You are forced to patch the web
browser at the same time you patch rsync, for example.
Plus, updates for other software is separate from the updates from
Apple, which is confusing and disjointed.
Updates installed via "Software Update" are listed as installed in
the GUI, but updates downloaded separately and applied are not listed
as installed. There is a directory where those "rogue" updates can be
viewed as applied, but it is not commonly known.
But I think it`s unfair to compare them.
I think Fedora will have the best chance to improve if comparisons to
all platforms are considered.
