for using each.
It's a matter of rational choice. One needs look at ones requirements,
then pick the proper OS.
Linux is great for some things, as is Mac, and even Windows. Each has
it's place.
Use what works for

You appear to have your head in the sand. I love Linux, I love it more than
I tolerate Windows, but changes must be made. This is because I eschew a
