video editing is decent, and 3d modeling is good.


linux is good cause its free, and you can modify it all you want (full source etc), but only if you know how to code. It can take a while to learn for non-unix users unless it's been pre-setup as a thin client (for web terminals), myth tv box, etc.

as far as "just working" or being "easy to use", linux is always almost there, but not quite. Macs take care of that (they run on bsd, which is unix-like and somewhat similar to linux) with a very nice UI and packaged software.
