From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, nah, macs are not perfect. And that's only going to get worse, no matter what way you look at it. Linux, on the other hand, is only getting better.
What's the deciding factor? Well, if it's a question of hardware, I don't know any laptops as good as a macbook pro. But if you find a model you like as much as the mac, there's no question at all. Linux all the way.
