What's it like in 1999? >really do not need to deal with the random issues of Linux desktops (e.g. getting wifi to work, dealing with sound driver funkiness, getting drivers/off-brand productivity apps Personally I have bigger problems with Apple products. OS X has all sorts of random issues(and even worse driver support). People like to pretend like Apple products "just work" but the reality is that OS X is just as buggy (if not more so) as Linux. The fact that Apple curates the hardware for their devices and has their OS coupled tightly to their ecosystem means these problems are inexcusable, they only need to ensure the OS works on around 5 models but they can't even get that right: Sound not working after upgrade on OS X: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/151045/why-is-the-audio-is-not-working-after-upgrading-to-yosemite http://www.iphonetopics.com/no-sound-after-upgrading-to-os-x-yosemite/ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6606695 [the list could go on] Wifi not working in OS X: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/10/30/yosemite-wi-fi-connection-issues/ http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/30/os-x-10-10-2-yosemite-wi-fi-problems/ http://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/the-worst-bugs-in-os-x-yosemite-and-how-to-fix-them-1652690924 [the list could go on] Upgrade disasters: http://www.macworld.com/article/2837811/bugs-and-fixes-solving-a-yosemite-post-install-disaster.html http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/161368/mac-os-x-yosemite-broke-my-imac There are over 500 Ubuntu Certified PCs whereas there are ~5 current Apple models. It's astonishing that apple users go out of their way to buy specific hardware just to get OS X up and running but refuse to do the same thing for other OS's, then go and claim that OS X "just works". I assume most apple users attempt to install Linux on their macbook only to find that Apple has made this process extremely hard and deliberately chosen hardware that uses closed source drivers that are hard to get on other operating systems, then they blame Linux. Imagine if the situation was turned around and you were trying to install OS X on your Ubuntu Certified PC. Would it still "just work"? I'd wager installing OS X on anything that isn't a mac is a bigger headache than installing any other OS anywhere. It would be like me building a custom computer, creating my own OS that only works on that computer, and then claiming my OS is good because it "just works" on my one specific machine. OS X has the worst hardware support of any OS. You can get better hardware support and a computer/OS that "just works" by taking the time and energy you took to buy a PC specifically made to run OS X and use it to buy a PC specifically made to run Linux.
