Linux has applications for just about anything. What are you looking for?

Just because Linux has those applications doesn’t mean it’s a viable option to switch. You have to learn all new workflows, applications, conventions, and more. Time and money could be lost in the process.

Most Linux machines take way more work to maintain than a Mac or a PC. To bring up the old adage, Linux is only viable if you don’t value your time.

That is just not true and as Linux is free you know I’m not paid to say this.

Apple users aren’t shy of complaining about Apple. So, Apple doesn’t pay people just to talk nice about them.

As a user and follower of the Apple community, I have heard countless complaints and have many myself.

These arguments have been done to death Windows is dying OS X is tied to overpriced badly made hardware

  1. It’s not overpriced. I’ve gone over this before. The fact is, most Apple hardware is similarly priced to comparable PC hardware. Read my linked posts above for more detail. Apple just doesn’t want to get $2 on everything they make.

  2. Badly made? I assure you that Apple’s hardware is probably the best in the business, especially when compared cheap, plastic PCs. The only hardware maker that is producing products even close to Apple is Microsoft.

  3. I agree with you that Windows is dying.

most users will get by with Chrome.

I agree with you there.

That leaves Linux which is free, adaptable and is easier to run than M$ and as easy to as it’s close cousin OS X. Both are UNIX based.

  1. I personally think that a Windows machine is easier to run than a Linux machine, as Linux was made for this:

Server

Not this:

PC

  1. I assume you mean “as easy to use as it’s close cousin OS X.” I disagree. I think that desktop Linux has not successfully hidden all it’s Unix-ness the way that OS X has.

M$

Oh, come on.
