The OS has a good UI, with Unix under the hood. And the hardware is generally excellent, while most PC vendors have spent the last several years making their products worse. For example, 5 years ago laptop displays were commonly 1440x900, and 1680x1050 wasn't hard to come by. Now on everything but Macs it's the atrocious 1366x768, or 1600x900 if you're lucky.
- jamesbritt 14y agoOne reason I've not gotten a mac is because I wanted a 15" laptop with 1920x1200. I'm using a thinkpad W500 now. With kubuntu; I find Spaces to be practically unusable compared to true multiple desktops. But to each their own. We each need to pick the hardware and OS combo that works for us.
