I don't get it. Is it irony because Osx is actually a crippled OS?Comment

Re: So I got a virus...
Macs aren't practical. They're extremely expensive and have a very specific neiche in media arts. Windows is the best comparability wise but that is of no fault of the OS. Linux, Ubuntu in particular as installing Gentoo for the first time is as fun as cutting off your dick, is probably the most practical OS out there. Works out of the box, and easy to work or do anything with. If you're missing some software to run something, it'll install it for you right then and there. It's also improving amazingly every release being every 6 months. The biggest things in the new one is installing software got even easier with a better instillation application, and Ubuntu One which is like free personal server space, so if you have two Ubuntu computers anywhere in the world, your Ubuntu One folder will have the same stuff on the same computers and always update.
OS X really does have it's place, but unless you're in professional graphic design of movie editing, it's 200% of the price of a normal computer to look like a metrosexual douchebag. If you're just "in" to graphic design as a hobby, Adobe Suit comes for both WIndows and Mac and works the same on both.Comment

Re: So I got a virus...
The only problem is that a huge majority of software and games are only written for windows. If everything was developed for linux then it would be worthwhile to me. I guess I'll just have both for now. =/
If all the operating systems had standardized exe types and software wasn't part of the equation in determining the usefulness of an OS then I believe linux would probably be the best choice.
Mainly because it's free and open source.Comment

Re: So I got a virus...
Thanks ~<3
Ubuntu is Linux. Linux is simple the core of an OS. You can't even run Linux by itself as it has no shell or GUI. Basically there or over a dozen Linux Distros (Distribution = a full OS that runs on Linux). They each have a niche and their drawbacks. Ubuntu's niche is home computing even though their Server Edition is improving fast.
Another great thing about Linux is you can actually use a totally different display manager. Kubuntu IS Ubuntu they just use a different default display manager being KDE instead of GNOME. this and this is the same OS. The second one is KDE (Kubuntu) and the other one is GNOME (Ubuntu), and I can install both of them on the same one, and switch them by logging out and pressing a button. There's tons of other display managers, the popular ones being Xfce, Fluxbox, and Openbox, but their more niche orientated.
I don't suggest fully switching if you have applications you NEED to run on OS X. For example I still have Windows 7 on my computer because of games. Also the instillation does all that duel booting stuff for you so don't worry about that.Comment
