I tried all three and find my preference for Os is Apple, Windows and
Linux, in that order. perhaps I am just more used to the other two. I know
Linux is great for old Windows computers. I didn't realize that it was just as
good for Apples..

Don't put linux on an intel mac btw... it could kill it.
WTF?
Maybe it'll stop working in depression and despair from being saddled from
such a poor imitation of OS X, but kill it, like in "render non functional,
bricked, pinin' for the fjords" killed? No way.
You can go a long way towards bricking your system doing stupid low-level
computer tricks if you don't know what you're doing, but it's always
recoverable.

I AM NOT kidding. Linux does not know how two work the CPU voltage part of the
SMC chip, which makes electrons jump the electron paths in the CPU, eventually
boring new paths and shorting out the CPU.
