Then stop posting in this thread. The OP simply wanted advice on moving between Linux and OSX.

For me day job is windows (unavoidable as I customize Microsoft products).
Home is now fully mac. Eek jrs have android phones (as they are cheap), Mrs Eek and myself iphones and ipads... The important thing here is that it just works and everything is integrated...
Servers are all linux based. The corporate web servers are ubuntu, the home (backup / media) server will revert back to that over the weekend...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

With respect, Cojak, the answer "neither" is viable in this context, and IMO the right one to boot.Originally posted by cojak View Post

Linux desktop at home, Linux desktop at work. I ditched Win 8.1 on my laptop for Linux so now totally Windows free.
At work I use a command line interface exclusively since that's how I manage the Unix and Linux servers I look after, no GUI required or wanted. The wee girl who looks after the Windows servers seems to have many more issues than I do but that could be down to many things.
Horses for courses and all that but to describe any non Windows OS as tulipe is more than being blinkered.
Typing a name into a CLI prompt to run a program? Windows doesn't do that?Comment

Most computer literate users are use to clicking on icons rather than using a CLI.Originally posted by Cliphead View Post
There is a section of computer illiterate users where a CLI is and would be useful. As long as they can find the terminal you can tell them what to type."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Apple for the desktop including workflow automation, Linux for server stuff. I'm keeping my options open on the server front with the occasional dabble with Unix.Originally posted by portseven View Post
Moving my workflow automation to another platform could be done but I'd probably have to write large chunks of it myself. Maybe I'll give it a whirl, but at the moment it "just works" so I'm happy with it.

The new (and old too) Dell XPS13 has good Ubuntu support but it's still not as polished as OS X, where Apple has full control over the whole ecosystem.
Because it is my clients money at stake, I use OS X as that has proven most reliable so far.
If I was working on a hobby project, or a sudden downtime because of crappy wifi drivers was not a huge issue, I'd go Linux any time.Comment
