Cant decide - Hackintosh or Linux

I CANT DECIDE! and its driving me up the wall.

What would you suggest for programming, bit of light photography and VMs? I am comfortable with both but OSX has stuff like Office and Adobe and a nice UI

Linux has security, light resource usage and customising, but I don't really have time to be dealing with issues.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks

Use OS X. It is designed for photo editing or video editing.

Well elementary OS is very similair to the OSX look and feel but it has it's linux quirks.

 

Ofcourse you can run Office in wine (have not tested office 2016 tho) but adobe doesn't like wine, so I think you're best off with Hackintosh.

 

And btw, the only issues linux can have is the ones you make yourself!

CPU: Intel i5-3470

GPU: MSI GTX 780

OS: GNU/Linux.

Why not just get windows ?

 

I cant stand it, I deal with it all day long at work, I don't want Windows 10, I am rebuilding my desktop tonight and using a reg hack work have to stop W10 downloading.

Plus I like to ability to use alternate systems, keeps things fresh

Since you do some programming you can try OS X. You could experiment with Xcode.
