I would like to lift the second point, Linux is better than windows.

Within my time as a student, and before, I always used a PC. My belief and opinions against Mac and Linux was negative, with arguments towards the lack of user ability.

For sure, an elderly would find it easier to use a PC over the other two if they try the OS's for the very first time.

This also goes for people with any learning disorder.

At the University where I studied for web development, or actually I was just there to get my experience on paper, everyone used a Mac but me. I said no. It's bad OS.

After my graduation I got hired at a web agency the very same day. Their suggestion: "Try it out! If you don't like it after a week, we give you a PC as disposal."

You see where this is heading.

Within a week I could state that my preference over Mac and Linux for development is Much much higher than PC. It's like these machines are actually built for developers!

Keys are placed in a behavior where you don't have to shift your hand as much. Key binds as well. The filesystem is perfect organized and the feeling of keyboard, love it!!

Today I use a Mac High Sierra at work, and will definitely buy a private one once possible.

Then, my friends. Then I shall move the 100gb collection of projects to my mac!🎉

.....Anyways.. I love Mac. When it comes to development.
