RE: Mac vs PC : The Debate

in #technology7 years ago

I am a big Linux fan and Ubuntu is my current daily use machine. I have all three on my desk currently and as a semi-retired IT Pro I made my living off Windows support. I agree that the OSX looks good and runs fairly well, but having to support Mac users I discovered that Apple likes to change things under the hood. Yes, still BSD based but they would change key support directories and files when doing a version upgrade. So processes developed to support new machine setup broke. I also agree with @darth-azrael about Apple hardware, great fit and finish, but way to much money and way too restrictive on hardware upgrade or expandability.

Thanks for the support perspective. I have never had to support Mac Desktops in an enterprise so didn't notice these under the hood changes.

I've also only occasionally used Linux as a desktop due to the fact there is limited support for the apps I use. I use it every day in the server space but my interactions there are almost exclusively console based.
