Looking at computer options

[Dead Eye]

While I see your point, it is a bit outdated in my opinion. Compatibility is becoming much less of an issue and if it wasn't for my extreme love of gaming then I would probably use a Linux machine. I already have two that I use separately to my main Desktop, but I'll admit there is a bit of a learning curve.

In any case, this is a tangent to the topic at hand. I wouldn't recommend Linux to nick and while I have no love for Mac's, however I think it might be a good match for him providing he can get a good level of support from professionals at a low cost
