Hi John, Better is a subjective word. More accurate might be "different". Mac and Linux are both wonderful operating systems--however no OS is perfect. Mac has a certain mytholgy that it is "safer", however this claim is not supported by independant testing. Many version of Linux have a "gui" (graphic user interface [i.e. a mouse and click]). Find me a perfect piano--and I'll give you a perfect computer system.
