So then, would you say it would be better for them to stick with Unix or move on to Linux based Mac?
I'd still like an informed opinion of the current day consensus on which is better.
Well, I've never been the biggest fan of Linux, mostly because it is not very user-friendly for the average user. I love OS X because the average user can pick it up very easily, but geeks can still play around in the terminal to do cool things with Unix.
Anyway, I'm not quite sure if you're asking if Apple should base their OS off of Linux or if someone with a Mac should use Linux or OS X. I'll guess the latter and say I see very little reason to have Linux on a Mac since OS X is already based off of Unix so Linux doesn't add any improved stability. I've certainly seen it done, but not too many Mac owners use Linux as their main OS.
