Likewise, most PC and Mac users have never run Linux for any length of time - and even if they have, they've probably never dug that deep.

A desktop like XFCE, for example, shits over anything Microsoft or Apple can offer.

Plus, I understand if you're a high-end audio user the "Jack" system is revolutionary. You can basically wire the inputs and outputs of any piece of software (soft synths, sequencers, mutimedia apps, PureData, you name it) into any other. Kind of like ReWire but it's implicitly supported by all Linux audio apps.

Of course, I understand that for people who aren't tech-savvy it's a bit of a no go - and in that case I'd say deffo go Apple - but for someone like me who's a professional Geek, the potential is so much greater when you can break the OS apart and put it back together how you like.
