I can't say that I absolutely hate Mac, I guess it's just that I never really had a chance to use it personally. I only used it in school more than a year ago.
Not only that... but I generally think that Mac is the Microsoft of Linux.
From what I've read, Mac is just a modified version of the GNU-Darwin Linux Distro.
But aside from that, I think Linux Distros are the best you can get. Yeah, they have problems running games, etc. From my experience, they crash WAY less than Windows, and run much faster than Windows.
Also... I'm not sure how many people know, but there are actually a company called Insigma Technology, that are working on a special Linux Kernel. The Kernel goes by the name of "Linux Unified Kernel", and it is basically the standard Linux Kernel, but with Ports of the Windows Kernel built in. This means that you can run your Windows Applications on Linux!
^^Sounds sick to me^^ 
They have a site, for those interested. http://www.longene.org/en/index.php
I did try to install it, but I never installed it properly. LOL
But overall... as a programmer, I prefer Linux over everything. You get Much more control, and not only that... the OS doesn't have to be bloated.

The Linux Unified Kernel is a free, open-source computer operating system kernel project intended to expand the Linux Kernel to be binary-compatible with application software and device drivers not only made for Microsoft Windows but also made for Linux OS. This will enable the Windows application running on the Linux operating system highly effectively. Through the Linux Unified Kernel, we hoped the one who habituates to use Windows OS can continue their operation customs on Linux OS, so that third party software user purchased could be unconcerned with the platform of operating system. As before, for the user, once he purchased the Windows application software, from that time on only he could choose the Windows operating system, but now he may have another choice. Regarding Linux, this was certainly watershed and can improve the market competitiveness of desktop Linux. |
