Other than multimedia software and a good window manager (mac gets my props on that), what exactly does Mac OSX for example have over Linux? I know that Mac and Linux are on two different platforms. But between specs / cost efficiency and productivity... I think Linux takes the win.
And I've been using Linux since 2001. |

What does Linux have over Mac OS X, aside from the fact that it's free and runs on cheaper hardware? |

QUOTE(mipadi @ Jun 2 2009, 12:33 PM) What does Linux have over Mac OS X, aside from the fact that it's free and runs on cheaper hardware? Cheaper in price.. not quality. That's the thing... Mac OS X is practically the same as Linux. But there's smallest of things that make a difference.. For example, when it comes down to SQLite, SQLite sends a F_FULLFSYNC request to the kernel to ensures that the bytes are actually written through to the drive platter. This causes the kernel to flush all buffers to the drives and causes the drives to flush their track caches. So if anything, OS X should be slower. Again, I'm not saying Mac or Linux is better than the other. In fact when people use the argument, "well I specifically use it for movie/3D animation, I advise them to go with a SGI Fuel System with IRIX
