'As you yourself blogged, there was a totally acceptable public way of doing what you needed to do.' Separately, Apple confirmed a security bug that could allow local users to get access to a Mac. Apricity OS may not be exactly like macOS but it does have a slightly similar feel. Its GNOME based clean user interface and beautiful icon themes make it a stunning looking Linux distribution. MacOS lookalike or not, if one day you want to switch to the ‘Arch domain’, do consider Apricity OS among your options.

Prelude

The introduction of Mac OS X on March 24th, 2001 was the fulfillment of a promise made over a decade earlier—a promise to Mac users that they would get a brand new operating system, and that it would be insanely great.

The mere existence of an actual shipping product let millions of Mac users breathe a sigh of relief. But when the dust settled, the software itself appeared less than great in many areas, and seemingly insane in others. The honeymoon was over before it even began.

My personal experience with Mac OS X has been rocky. I installed Mac OS X on my Mac at work, a dual G4 450MHz with 256MB RAM, as soon as version 10.0 shipped. But on my home machine, a blue and white G3 400MHz, I stuck with Mac OS 9. I did this for several reasons.

Mac

First, not all of my hardware was supported in Mac OS X, including (most importantly) my printer. Second, many of the applications I use every day did not have native OS X versions. Third, and perhaps most troublingly, I still felt a lot more productive and happy in the Mac OS 9 user interface. This was partially due to the sluggish performance of the OS X interface on my G3/400 (a problem in its own right), but it was also because I could not set up the OS X user interface to suit my needs the way Mac OS 9 did.

So that's how I've lived for the past six months: spending 40 hours a week using Mac OS X, following it through four updates to version 10.0.4, and then coming home to my Mac OS 9 system. Coming home to Mac OS 9 often felt like coming back to an old friend. My G3/400 felt like a speed deamon, as I scrolled through my email messages, pulled down menus, and launched applications at speeds that made my 'faster' dual G4/450 at work seem positively moribund.

On the other hand, the uptime on my Mac at work, which I left on 24 hours a day, was roughly equivalent to the the time between OS updates from Apple (excluding hardware upgrades). I had a total of five system crashes (all of them user interface deaths; no kernel panics), most of them in version 10.0 through 10.0.2.

And so the platforms dueled: stability vs. ease of use; a pretty interface vs. a responsive one; a full suite of Unix tools and services vs. good hardware support and a wide selection of applications. For the most part, things came down on the side of Mac OS 9 for me. Despite the particular features that made it a good fit for my work environment, Mac OS X was still too slow, too awkward, too resource intensive, and too 'unfinished' for me to accept as my 'new Mac OS.'

Many Mac users felt the same way. Some didn't even want to think about Mac OS X until some point in the future--after they'd purchased new hardware, or when the OS matured some more. While the early adopters frolicked, and the part-time geeks experimented with occasional trips into the world of Aqua, the rest of the Mac community waited.

Despite spending five days a week using OS X, I felt like I was waiting with them. Many of OS X's problems were acknowledged by Apple, but some were not. On Apple-run mailing lists, signals crossed and tempers flared on issues ranging from the Dock to the color, shape, and position of the window widgets. Confusion and uncertainty reigned.

But Mac users are nothing if not patient. For the faithful, hope springs eternal in the skies above Cupertino. Mac OS X 10.0.x was not the OS I had hoped it would be, and yet I can see the end of the road for classic Mac OS fast approaching. I want to like Mac OS X. I want to love it. I want it to sweep away any memory of classic Mac OS.

Like Mac users everywhere, I want to believe.

These steps apply only to Mac computers with an Intel processor. The steps to erase a Mac with Apple silicon are different.

Before erasing your Mac

  • Make a backup of any files that you want to keep. Erasing your Mac permanently deletes its files.
  • If you want to restore your Mac to factory settings, such as to prepare it for a new owner, first learn what to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac. Then erase your Mac as the final step.

Use Disk Utility to erase your Mac

  1. Start up from macOS Recovery: Turn on your Mac, then immediately press and hold these two keys until you see an Apple logo or other image: Command (⌘) and R.
  2. If asked, select a user you know the password for, then enter their administrator password.
  3. From the utilities window, select Disk Utility and click Continue.
  4. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar of Disk Utility. Don't see Macintosh HD?
  5. Click the Erase button in the toolbar, then enter the requested details:
    • Name: Macintosh HD
    • Format: APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled), as recommended by Disk Utility
  6. Click Erase Volume Group. If you don't see this button, click Erase instead.
  7. If asked, enter your Apple ID. Forgot your Apple ID?
  8. After the erase is done, select any other internal volumes in the sidebar, then click the delete volume (–) button in the toolbar to delete that volume.
    Disregard any internal volume named Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, as well as any volumes in the External and Disk Images sections of the sidebar.
  9. Quit Disk Utility to return to the utilities window.
  10. If you want to start up again from the disk you erased, select Reinstall macOS in the utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions to reinstall macOS.

If you don’t see Macintosh HD in Disk Utility

Your built-in startup disk should be the first item listed in the Disk Utility sidebar. It's named Macintosh HD, unless you changed its name. If you don't see it there, choose Apple menu  > Shut Down, then unplug all nonessential devices from your Mac and try again.

If your disk still doesn't appear in Disk Utility, or Disk Utility reports that the erase process failed, your Mac might need service. If you need help, please contact Apple Support.
