I am surprised that 2% is not higher. There are very few alternative to Mac if you want a GUI and a UNIX like system. I really hope Apple invests in Mac. It used to be that Mac hardware was very innovative compared to Software but now, I like their Software (uniform experience on multiple devices) but the Hardware is lacking. Especially the drop of MagSafe and limited Memory and processor support on their New Macbook pros. But I haven't given up on Macs yet. Remember, 'An Apple a day keeps Windows away'.

- gshakir 9y agoI really like Ubuntu, but I don't think it is ready for everyday regular users.
- neverminder 9y agoI know plenty of "everyday regular users" that would disagree with you, considering that they spend 99% of their time in a browser.
- 43224gg252 9y agoSeems like most people use Linux because they value their privacy. Using it through windows kind of defeats the purpose of using Linux. Also, to me it seems that by implementing a Linux sub-system, Microsoft is basically admitting that their OS isn't good enough for developers on its own. Personally, I don't know anyone who chooses to use windows, just people who need it for some reason. It's a privacy nightmare and anyone who considers themselves a "hacker" and still chooses Windows when all they need is Linux, isn't really a "hacker" imo (or at least, they haven't given much thought as to why they should value privacy and freedom).
