OS X was installed on a Mac, and Ubuntu, on a PC. Obtaining the Operating Systemįor the sake of this article, I did a clean installation of both Ubuntu and OS X on existing hardware. To begin, let’s jump right in and start by comparing the processes for obtaining the operating system. I have also attempted to do so without bias or platform-specific hype. Since I have access to both operating systems in my home office, I was able to take the time to narrow down where each operating system excels and where improvement is still needed. In this article, I will be offering a unique comparison between Ubuntu 12.10 and OS X Mountain Lion.


Some individuals have compared Linux distributions to other operating systems, such as OS X. Over the years, many people have speculated about when Ubuntu will be ready for the casual computer user.
