>>4100231Macs are decent computers that are stable, fairly secure, and friendly for people who don't know how to computer. However, they're not very customizable, and are often prohibitively expensive.
Windows is cheaper, flexible, fairly easy to use, and has moderate nerd-cred ratings. However, it's slightly less stable, requires some computer know-how, and needs more security upkeep than a Mac.
GNU/Linux is free, can do pretty much whatever you want, is available in many flavors, has max nerd-cred ratings, and requires some coding and computer architecture knowledge. However, it's often unstable, hard to use, and requires time, blood, sweat and tears to troubleshoot.
