Linux uses Xorg which is async. That means the full frame is not updated at once. This is good over a network but terrible on the desktop. Photoshop runs under wine but it wont get the performance boost that it will running natively on a non linux system because OS X and Windows do not have async window servers.

Post a video and I'll post a response, Otherwise You will risk getting blocked.

This is a video site, not a forum.

What did I say in the beginning?

I'll say it again.

For the target market of non-technical users - Mac OS X is great. It's better than Windows and it's better than Linux, it costs more but the centralised support is worth it.

For power users on the other hand, it is not as good. You speak of the terminal. Windows has a terminal (command prompt), so does almost every other OS.

"Pro apps" is pretty vague. For a handful of apps that are a matter of personal preference, it's not worth it.

[dragonballjiujitsu]

All of that, but when I install OS X my sound works. Oh, and my wireless.

All of the stuff you named off means nothing to 99.999% of people who will touch a computer.

Just because you can modify every aspect of the system does not make it better. Its still less user friendly ( more for those who like to tinker) It has no pro apps, and I repeat it will never be main stream because of all of its weaknesses.

This is not a forum, post a video.

It is less powerful to power users. I cant control the exact behaviour of all applications at the kernel level, to the point of modifying syscalls etc. with Mac OS X. I can't modify the TCP/IP stack in any way I please; most importantly I can't do what I like with the hardware (there isn't full access to CD/DVD drive, meaning some Win32 games will never run on OS X legally).

I'm also not free to 100% study how the system works, or run it on non-Apple hardware. That is a problem.

[dragonballjiujitsu]

One is far more usable than the other so much so that it is main stream and the other never will be.

Yeah, Final cut, photo shop, logic, Office, do I need to go on?

Tell me about all the movies that have been made using Linux. Tell me about all the games made on Linux.

[dragonballjiujitsu]

OS X is very user friendly, thats one thing it has over Linux. Also you seem to think just because its user friendly that makes it less useful to power users, it does not. We still have the terminal in OS X, all the power features are still there.

The next thing OS X has over linux is programs. Let me ask you this. Can you run photo shop in Linux? How about final cut? Logic? Microsoft Office?

Don't tell me about Open office and gimp either.

Power Users are the people who customise and tweak their systems. Those who use an equivalent amount of knowledge to a professional system administrator to customise and tweak to their hearts content.

Graphic designers, video editors, musicians, and 3d modellers are normal, business end-users.

Linux is used by Google, IBM, HP and many other companies on their servers and workstations for day-to-day uses. These companies are all IT-related, hence power-users.

As I already said - target market!
