I'm not a programmer or anything, but once you get the hang of it its better than both windows and mac. Ive ran Ubuntu, Debian, Yellow dog, and Opensuse. There are so many varieties. My good friend convinced me not to buy another Mac and installed it on my old macbook. Its about a million times better. I don't know how to install windows programs or anything but he did it. Frankly its the best choice, and its free. If you have an old ibook or older macs debian and yellow dog run perfectly. I think Linux is the best.

Don't get me wrong. I use Linux as a development platform. But then again, I use Arch Linux. An hour's worth of tweaking to get the thing installed, up, and running is all it needed. That, in a nutshell, is why I bought a 24 inch iMac way back in 2007. I liked being able to use FrontRow (and its remote control) to watch videos. Also, the keyboard shortcuts make much more sense. Meta keys should go under your thumb, not in a place where you need to move your hand from the home row AND stretch the hell out of your pinkie. There are loads of other reasons, though I have to admit Windows 7 has improved the Windows line significantly, and has pretty much caught up to Mac OS X. Competition is good, and I have high hopes for the next OS X release. My† iMac's hard drive broke a few months ago. So I bought a new SATA drive, cracked the case, and upgraded it. I upgraded my own RAM. Admittedly, Apple uses some customized parts to fit into the case. I couldn't upgrade my video card, even if I wanted (I guess that would be nice, but I'll live with it. It's good enough for playing 1080p video. Heck, it's good enough that it can downscale 1080p video while running a bunch of other OpenGL applications. No surprise there) Apple's control over the hardware means I don't have to worry about drivers, for the most part. It is a COMPUTING APPLIANCE, with the full power of Unix under the hood for those of us that want it. I’d rather use my computer than spend hours tweaking it.
