I use Linux on the desktop and Linux for my servers. Everything works
perfectly.
I used Mac for several years but drifted away for the following reasons:
1. Their hardware is the best in the business - but not at 3 times the
price!
2. The don't make 17" laptops anymore.
3. OSX is great except for each place they drifted from Unix!
4. I don't like them, essentially, being in cohorts with MS against
Linux. (They can compete with Windows in terms of quality, but they can't
compete against the Linux price.)
5. I don't like the proprietary nature of their ecosystem.
