I absolutely cannot figure out what to do in order to fix an Apple computer when it’s bugging out

Buy a new one, duh

Or do the same basic troubleshooting you would for any other computer. It sounds like the person you're replying to doesn't know how to do that. They should learn. It's not that hard.

Well, macOS is unix based, and when debbuging a friends mac, I usually find that I find the terminal more comfortable than the Windows Command Prompt.

Now, that Mac does break in very weird ways sometimes, but I digress.
