What Linux Are You?

No, Apple computers keep all files compartmentalized in their own folders. Unlike a PC and probably Linux. So when I delete a program, there is no need to go into my system to look for a file or folder containing leftover remnants of the deleted program.

There is no auto defrag because the operating system is set up to use the files and put them back where they found them eliminating the need.

Incorrect, and incorrect. You just don't understand the low level system operations going on.

Neither Linux nor Mac, nor any UNIX type of OS for that matter, needs to be defragmented via the user firstly because they write new files into spaces large enough to fit the entire file, and secondly because everytime you reboot a modern UNIX type of system is does some disk cleanup stuff that includes moving small files in the middle of large open space on the drive into any small holes between larger files. Unlike Winblows which starts with the first open cluster and causes lots of fragmentation after a lot of file deletes and creations. So like I said, OSX takes care of defrag on its own behind the scenes. I'm not sure about OSX, but some Linux also do the disk cleanup stuff while the system is idle too. I would guess OSX does that, but I couldn't swear to it.

As for the other part, I didn't say your Mac didn't
All I said was Linux is the same way
