Working with Linux on a PC 1632
Seems that *if* one were to use only "approved" or "standard" apps for a specific window manager that you could could come close to the consistency that one finds regularly on OS X. With OS X, though, there is one primary window manager - so almost all programs work well with it. There are some Finder replacements - but the overall rules of the Mac stay consistent.
Of course, if for some reason you hate the rules a Mac uses there is not much you can do about it. I suppose you could use mostly X11 apps or whatever, but then you might as well not be using a Mac.
Back to the idea that OS X offers a more consistent and easier to use interface, but Linux offers greater flexibility and configurability. And Windows offers some really cool games. ;)
