Despite my affinity for the Linux desktop, I’m still part of the Mac world, thanks to my wife and her preference for OS X. As such, this means helping out with TimeMachine backups, software updates and handling anything that might happen to come up when she needs a hand. Much like one might find with the Linux desktop, left alone, the Mac does a pretty good job of just “working” and allowing its users to get their daily duties completed without much hassle.
