Ubuntu easier to use than OS X?
I was browsing Digg this morning and found a rather interesting story with some random guy (evidently a ‘Matthew Daly’ in the UK) about how he thought his Ubuntu installation was easier to use than OS X. In fact, his exact statement was:
A modern beginner-oriented Linux distribution such as Ubuntu is considerably easier to use than a Mac.
Now, I am a huge Linux guy. I love my T61 Thinkpad running Ubuntu (formerly Gutsy, now Hardy). I’ve had the laptop for almost a year exactly and have had Ubuntu on it ever since the first Ubuntu 7.10 RC releases and couldn’t be happier. It gives me, a very very cranky power user, exactly what I want. That being said, I just don’t agree that it is easier to use for new users than OS X. In fact, I think they both are horrible for new users.
