Windows vs. Mac vs. Linux
mood: metaphorizing · working on: website
Windows is this barren wasteland, where you have to worry about radioactive gasses, predators, and bandits. People try to sell you software, but it’s just cobbled together from old car parts and pieces of lead piping. It’s ugly and dangerous, and full of mercenary tech-support.
Mac is the bright, seemingly utopian civilization. Competing companies are courteous, and everything is shiny and silver. Sure, most of the populace has become soft, and if they ever encountered a virus (or any manner of things in the wasteland), they couldn’t cope. Still, they are comfortable, using both publicly provided apps as well as supporting small developers of paid apps.
Linux is the anarcho-communist dream. It’s competitive in a way only programmers can be, and the general consensus is that if you can’t hack it, no one will mourn your death. That being said, there are very few predatory companies trying to scam people. The citizens don’t put up with that. They provide everything for free, for the good of the people, and they want everyone to get involved. The thing is, their flat, non-hierarchical society is many times more efficient than either of the other two.
