Pretty much agree with what most other people have said apart from wouldn't dream of buying apple which is for people who want to look good and cost themselves a fortune without actually getting anything done.
the only other obvious difference not mentioned here is price - Linux is free vs Windows costs a fair bit. Ubuntu is relatively user friendly, I have my tv pc running it and it is really good and my flatmates have no trouble with it. However the bulk of software available online and in retail stores is for Windows and some hardware works better on Windows.
