macOS Sonoma is a 13.37GB download.

That’s 15.5 times larger than Arch Linux…

Over 6.5 times larger than EndeavourOS
Over 5 times larger than Garuda, Linux Mint, Feren OS, Pop!_OS, Fedora, & Zorin
Over 3 times larger than Ubuntu, Manjaro & Debian

Over 2.4 times larger than…WINDOWS 11‽

Are you feeling okay, Tim Apple?
