My BIL doesn’t have a PhD but he is a software engineer, so he works with Linux a lot. He prefers Apple at home though (most of my hand me downs were from him).
So, do you own a cel phone, tablet or laptop? If so, do you lean towards being a Mac user, an Android user or something else, such as Linux, or Windows?
My first smartphone was an Android. It was fine at first but I had an iPod touch for music that I’d bought a few years earlier and really wanted all in one. I have a large music library so I got an iPhone as my second smartphone and it’s been all iPhones ever since.
I must admit, certain strains are easier than Windows… Ubuntu for one. Very pretty too. And for lite users, it's easy as anything to use. But for advanced use, it's not for everyone.
