There is a problem with Macintosh-es too, you know, it's too damn expensive in Europe, for no apparent reason, that's why I'm still using Linux. The price difference is so huge that you might as well fly over to the US and buy one there.
I will buy one later on, though.
But back to the critism:
- I doubt that OS X has better driver support than Linux, for your setup maybe(good for you), but generally most stuff simply just work with Linux, I plug in my mouse, and it loads even faster than on Windows 7
- You still(to my knowledge) can't tweak a Mac. Desktop the way you can tweak KDE, GNOME and many others.
In the end my advice is load up an Ubuntu CD and be amazed that Linux is not what you described.
- xiongchiamiov 16y agoI doubt that OS X has better driver support than Linux Apple knows exactly what hardware you're using if you buy a Mac, and thus are able to accomodate you quite nicely. This of course doesn't count peripherals, but it's still quite significant.
- DjDarkman 16y agoYou shouldn't compare the OS-es that way, otherwise Mac OS X is a clear loser, because it only supports Apple hardware. If we are comparing the two OS-es the only fair comparison we can make is the peripherals, where again, I doubt that OS X would win, sure it has great support from a lot of descent vendors, but again Linux support is huge, not because of the companies interest but because the developer community does a great job in writing drivers at an insane pace, heck they even managed to make broadcom cards work using binary blobs created originally for windows.
