As far as software is concerned, I have had farrrrrr fewer issues with Mac OS then I have with Windows. Often the fix is extremely simple after a quick google search.
That's where Linux has the best of both worlds, Linux and OSX are both based on Unix, so anything you can do on OSX you can do on any Linux distro, and you have the ability to replace hardware at will because it is installed on a PC. Mac is essentially a Linux distro made by Apple and that is why most (read most not all) people think it is the best OS.
