    Have you guys thought of trying it on Linux and macOS to compare the way each system would deal with the same situation?

    Are they using the Creator Ready or the Game Ready drivers?
    Did they compare the two in some video that I've lost?

    I have being using Macminis since 2009/2010. OS X learning curve is easy. Just some peculiarities (unbelievable ones) of some versions like Leopard and Snow Leopard, where Finder DIDN'T HAVE CUT & PASTE functionality (!!!), the option was greyed on the menus. Only from Lion and above they implemented, very elegant solution I might say, which I find better than Ctrl + X and Ctrl +V, that is you copy using Command + C then you decide if you are going to paste, Command + V, or move, Command + Option + V.
    The incredible replace functionality, more a mistake (dangerous one) than functionality: in the old system if copy/cut a folder from one place and at the paste you paste inside a place with a folder of the same name, the system would replace the folder with the copied one, not merge the files like any other normal.
    The use of the Command key instead of the Ctrl key making it confuse for those that use... well all the other operating systems available.
    The necessity of enable the secondary click manually is annoying (Ctrl + click is not practical at all). For some functionalities, which you get attached very easy, you must have apple magic mouse or trackpad. The non bluetooth keyboard is shitˆ$#t, is expensive (at least here) lasts nothing for an Apple product. I am on my second keyboard and (third if I count with my bluetooth one that I gave to a friend), as with the first one, I take all the care I can take and one keys is already strange.
     
    The OS X system is fluid, stable, using the mouse or the trackpad is very fun and very useful once you've enable the ones you need in System Preferences. I use *unix commands a lot and OS X together with some extra software make my life easier. I use it mainly for my fun but also for work. Webdev tools are very easy to config.
     
    Mavericks was a very good upgrade, Yosemite I am note  not enjoying.
     
    I would like to recommend some of the Apps I use:
    MplayerX very good media player, VLC (the one every one knows), Alfred (kind of a replacement, with extras, for spotlight), Xtrafinder (improvements for Finder), BetterSnapTool to snap windows anywhere (paid)  or BetterTouchTool (free), Afloat to pin certain Windows and iTerm if you use command line (bash etc.)
     
    Oops! Forgot the homebrew, very, very useful package manager
