I mainly use a computer for:

- Work (heavy usage of Microsoft office apps)

- Audio / recording studio

- Some gaming

- Software development

Unfortunately for me, that's three uses where Windows excels, versus one for Linux.

Three out of four would also work on a Mac though

I'm not the person you're responding to, but i see their 'ok' reply as being valid. I, too, use windows for audio recording: i rather suspect anyone that does, knows about what's available, both for mac, and linux. And, have chosen [reasons, amongst many, being: cost, availability, trust, familiarity...etc, etc] 'not those paths'. For now.

That's fine. But this is still a place to discuss things no? Also it wasn't even his comment I replied to...

If someone disagrees or agrees with my comment they should feel free to state their points or just ignore it. Maybe he has good points that speak against Mac
