Frankly I buy macs b/c they're vendor-supported unix boxes. Outside of my personal gripes with Mach-O, it's a pretty good unix.

- cypress-hill 18y agowho the hell needs the "vendor"? i can get better unbiased advice out of online forums. even after going to freebsd i continued to use ubuntuforums, because the advice tended to be great. the arch wiki also rules. i would rather use a forum or irc then call some dipshit on the "vendor" support line. all i want from a hardware vendor is a sane warranty. otherwise they can keep their worthless phone monkeys
- axod 18y agoThe reason is that Apple guarantee that OS X, will work with their hardware. If it doesn't, they better fix it quick, or risk the wrath of everyone. With Linux, you might have some unsupported hardware, and that's that. Your choice is either to write drivers yourself, wait until someone else does, or buy different hardware.
