Where Ubuntu Fits Between Apple, Microsoft
The past 48 hours have been filled with drama for me. My MacBook Pro died on March 15, forcing me to scramble for help from Apple while I shifted all of my blogging and business efforts over to a System76’s Pangolin Performance laptop running Ubuntu. The experience reminded me: Ubuntu fills a growing niche where (A) Apple won’t compete on price and ( Microsoft hasn’t competed on quality.
On a typical day, I jump between my MacBook Pro (blogging on MSPmentor and The VAR Guy) and a range of Ubuntu desktops and notebooks (while blogging on WorksWithU).
But when the MacBook died, I switched full-time over to System76’s notebook running Ubuntu and plowed ahead with blogging. I’m playing catch up in some areas — including a few contributor blogs that need to hit this site.
Still, the Ubuntu system performed like a dream.
