- Operating Systems: Apple Mac iPad iPhone OS, previously did not allow other non-Apple App Stores making it a closed ecosystem. This was in contrast to Linux OS such as Canonical’s Ubuntu which allows Flathub in addition to Canonical’s Ubuntu Software Center (App Store) and Google Android OS which allows F-Droid in addition to Google Playstore. However, Apple has overcome this limitation, as in addition to Apple’s App Store they now also allow AltStore which is an alternate App Store. This is a welcome change and I want to acknowledge this both as a user and developer. https://www.apple.com.
