I like how someone who uses the same hardware as you but a different OS is a 'fanboy', but at the same time you are completely exempt of this moniker even though you take part of your identity from the fact that you cover up a logo and run Ubuntu; feeling proud enough to tell us about it here.

Fanboy-ing aside the benefit of OS X over Ubuntu (et al.), to me at least, is that it is more stable, still unix and there is much more software available for it that doesn't require debugging/building/re-building, etc. Ubuntu is fun for playing with, but when I need to get work done it tends get in the way eventually.




Agreed. Ubuntu people are just as crazy as Mac zealots.


It would have been a different version Linux, but Ubuntu is the easiest to install with the bootloader nonsense.
