again, AV linux is going to work on nearly any computer. i'd be willing to bet that it works on more machines than, say, OSX. frankly, it worked on two of my computers, straight up, no manipulation, no research. it just works.

apple has sold a bill of goods. people have bought into it. fanaticism is born of doubt.



video, in terms of video manipulation, is not done through the GPU.
Apple, is the modern day equivalent to computers, of what the modern day Porsche is to cars. Porsche makes good cars, and massively sell on how "well engineered" it is, well, part of that "engineering" is designing it to be cheap. Porsche kicks about $25K a car last I heard.
