1. Macos Say For Linux Version
  2. Macos Say For Linux 10
Does anyone know if there is a Linux equivalent of this 'say' command available in Mac OS X? As far as I can tell there isn't, but in case someone knows of one:

Sosumi is a snap package based on macOS-Simple-KVM that makes it easy to download and install macOS in a virtual machine (is comes bundled with qemu-virgil, which includes virtio-vga, a paravirtual 3D graphics driver). Best macos for 2012 macbook pro. It does not ship with macOS, but downloads an installer image for macOS Catalina. Really I guess I'm trying to say that OSX and Linux are more alike than either community would probably lead you to believe. And like Grayson was saying, both of them are incredibly close to their grandfather UNIX - you can effectively learn 90% of both OSX and Linux systems by just studying UNIX.
