Switched to Linux (Ubuntu) about a year ago and I will never go back.

Is Linux an "operating system" that is used on Apple products? I keep hearing that the Apple is simpler, more reliable and intuitive system. Anybody got experience with both Microsoft and Apple? I know you gotta dig deeper into your pockets to afford Apple.

Well I guess it technically could be used but why pay more to do something you can do on a PC?
I have a 4 year old Toshiba laptop (Celeron 1.35, 1 gig of memory, 80 gig hard drive) and a guy at work jaw dropped when he saw it working. (He just spent a boatload of cash on a new Apple laptop).
If:
1) money is no problem (Apple)
2) you are a gamer (PC)
3) you only use the computer for basic stuff like email, web surfing and maybe basic drawing/photoshop (Linux)

It's not really i think i use
all this SO and linux it's not the most simple to use,maybe it' the most complicated because you need know unix for a lot of operations and installs.

Sorry but I am not sure I understand your phrasing.

The last part I get, I think.
Maybe it was true of Linux many years ago but not anymore.
I've been using Ubuntu for a year and I have absolutely no idea about unix.
Just download and burn to CD Ubuntu and you can boot up from it and see what it is like.
