Now a days everything is a webapp. It is an ongoing trend and it will not stop. There is absolutely no reason to use another operating system than linux.
Most software at enterprises and companies are programmed with java. Microsoft Office is already a web app. Only videogames and legacy Software is keeping people from changing os.

Linux breaks easily, You can rat fuck the entire system just by entering a wrong command.

Anyway live systems are superior in everyway, They can't get viruses or rootkits because nothing is saved, Each time you boot up your system it's like booting into a fresh install.

This is why knoppix is the best.

The YouTube video editor is not as good as Adobe Premiere or Final Cut. Flat.io isn't as good as Finale Pro. Pixlr is inferior to Photoshop. Web apps won't be replacing professional software for some time yet.

>>56663224
I can agree with this. iTunes is still a great content platform and macOS is the best looking OS on the market

>>56663266
I'm not a fan of web apps, for these reasons and many others so you're kind of preaching to the choir.

But the fact of the matter is a large and growing number of people don't give a shit about these concerns and just go ahead and use them anyway. And for those people, OS really doesn't matter very much.

>>56662405
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Previously we had Sun Workstations (Ultra 27s were the last we had until we switched to Mac Pro's). Marketing, accounting, HR, etc use Windows corporate image for their day to day.

>MacOS is for work
Considering it's tied to Apple hardware, very few businesses are going to waste money on implementing OSX. This leaves it basically to the home user realm.
>Windows is for games
True, but it's also the primary work/office OS. Most productivity applications run on windows, and it's the most widely deployed OS, both in business and at home.
>Linux is for servers
That is the role it usually plays, or in embedded systems.

I believe that many businesses would be served well to switch over to full linux environments, but this raises issues with software compatibility, and the increased load on IT staff to support it.

I also believe that for these reasons, OSX would dominate if released openly. It's objectively better than windows, but since it's tied to Apple hardware, it's essentially useless. The problem is that Apple wouldn't make money selling overpriced hardware, since you then would be able to enter the Apple ecosystem with only an OS switch.

The only time linux is ever used for servers in a real business, is when its something thats not important enough to buy a license for windows. Maybe if they can't afford the licenses, but that unlikely. Sometimes you meet someone who just likes linux and uses it as often as they can, but windows is superior. Only time mac is used, is if someone retarded ceo, or cfo decides that they want it, against the will of the cto, or IT director.

Windows deployment services for automated imaging where you can pre-load almost any enterprise drivers, batch/powershell where you can customize or change the system remotely or locally, also driveletter$ to remotely access a machines entire UNC drive, largest industry support for software, along with secured domains.
Use the right platform for the right purpose however. Windows is good for end users because most employees are already familiar with it in the US, so less barrier to entry.

However on servers, what about ASP? I would want a windows server for that, also domain controller.
You also want to factor in the hardware & driver support before settling on an OS. Many operating systems including windows are not always as well suited or designed for certain servers/hardware over another OS which may have paid attention to detail.

At home use what you want.

OSX is for lots of types of work and some types of fun

"Linux doesn't have games" is a meme. Out of my 550 games in library 150 of them are available for GNU/Linux.
Note that I play indie indie games. If I played mainstream indie games a number would be a lot higher.
