However, Linux is only an operating system, not an entire computer.

But I agree.

PCs are near awful though.



Well technically, Macintosh is only an Operating System that works with only one type of very overpriced piece of machinery. Linux on the other hand can work with most computers. Either or I agree as well…other than the Windows part D:<

Depending on your major mostly, if your major is like a computer science major I say get a PC. Since with PCs you can have software like Visual Studio. Even though there are alternatives, your school probably will use Visual Studio.

Think about what you will be using the computer for, what is your major, do you need a certain software that Macs have that PC doesn’t or the other way around.

If you need to just print documents and such I say, get a PC to save a bit of money.
