From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not to pretend I know it all, but have actively been using Linux on desktops and normal laptops for years now and I do have to agree.
Those old Macs are actually quite hard to get working right (fans, touchpad etc).
It is not impossible, but it takes quite an investment.
But Macs aside, nowadays a lot of desktops ánd laptops install flawlessly though.
