It’s available in a wide range of colors, unlike most Apple products. One of the hallmarks of the iMac design

DaryaDanik/Getty I use Linux for both desktop and server. My preference for a server OS is one without a GUI, which means I have to turn to a lot of command-line tools. In some cases, I prefer to use the same command-line tools for both desktop and server, because it simplifies everything. After all, I don't want to have to learn two different tools for the same job.
