I've not had macOS crash once. It really is cool how far both OSs have come to the point that they're stable and rarely if ever fail, at least in my experience

Well, you can customise A LOT, compared to Mac.

Windows is actually very customizable, and he is right in saying that you can customize everything (as long as it's aesthetic). Yes, the OS itself is not that customizable compared to Linux, but is better than a Mac. Practically everything about the UI itself is customizable. Some people can get Windows 10 to look almost exactly like XP.

Pretty sure he's just basing it off the OS alone, and not the hardware. You can run macOS on a "PC" and Windows on a Mac, anyway. So picking your own hardware is available for both platforms, you just have to be a bit more careful and specific when picking parts for a macOS build.

ctrl+alt+del does system interrupt, if your program somehow locked up, use ctrl+alt+del.

@@topd7566 The software availability side of things is really the only thing left that windows actually has going for it. Hardware compatibility, low backend processing (making my 10 year old laptop better than my new one w/ windows), customization that doesn't require suites of complicated tools, privacy, security, no uncontrolled updates, reliability (never had a linux machine crash because of software issues), are all points to Linux. Not to mention that not only does most infrastructure run on Linux, but alot of programs (even Windows exclusives) are developed in Linux.

I know it is hard for the first time when migrate from Windows to Linux. I switch to Linux in 2016. Till now I'm still learning, read the wiki, man pages, tutorial and go to forum to ask is the best troubleshooter that I met. Linux is more efficient when running on low hardware. Dual core Celeron, 4GB of RAM, 10GB of hard disk is more than enough for me to browsing web while running Libreoffice, listening music and updating entire system. Basic things is done by aliases, script or functions. Automatic task done by cron job or startup script. I know that I cannot use Libreoffice like when I use Microsoft Office. I feel they have same purpose but do it in different way. So when I switch to Linux, I totally decide to do all things based on "Linux way" not based on "Windows way". Work with terminal isn't horrible like I think before. With the help of aliases, I don't need to remember bunch of command. My system was 4 years old now and I never doing reinstall. Only in Windows I ever got BSOD, and I don't know how to fix it except doing reinstall entire system. I'm not a gamer and I don't have enough money to buy a powerfull hardware, so Linux is the only choice that I have for my cheap laptop, maybe this is what I call efficient. Now I feel more confuse when using Windows because I cannot use Windows like when I use Linux. I think it is better to use Linux only if all applications that you need is available on Linux and your hardware is not powerfull enough to running Windows.

Some distros are not that nice. Other than LibreOffice, u can use WPS office which is only preinstalled on Ubuntu Kylin (the `Chinese` Ubuntu that is said to be like Windows but isn`t) and I saw it on Huawei advertisements and it is quite good other than telling you to upgrade upgrade upgrade upgrade
