The assumption is that the two operating systems are comparable, for the reasons given in the same sentence after the comma.
And of course, no one is forcing you to run linux for your work.
- fluoridation 4y agoOf course they're comparable. They're operating systems that run on the same hardware form factor and attempt to solve about the same set of problems. The fact that one is much better than the other doesn't make them incomparable. That is to say, the fact that comparing them is inconvenient for one of the sides doesn't make the comparison invalid.
- epilys 4y agoThat's a different comparison to what I was replying to. I'm talking about the "linux doesn't work the same on all devices" vs "mac just works"
