Actually, I don't know that those questions would have done anything for me. Certainly useful for more average users, though. My issues were mostly with what I couldn't bring over. Certain apps like Omnigraffle, all my movies, music and photos are in OSX and some (but not all) could be moved over (thanks DRM) and even then, i've got an iphone I sync to, which is possible under linux, but not straightforward from what i read. I still do all my dev in a linux VM and I. LOVE. IT. so much better than doing it in OSX, and i'm isolated from any OSX upgrades that might interfere with my development. But to ditch OSX entirely would require a lot of work, some sacrifice, and I'm not sure it's worth it in the end. At least, not yet. But it was an interesting experience, and I at least know what is keeping me in OSX and what it would take to move. As far as distros; it was mint. ubuntu in general has good font rendering that other distros lack out of the box, and i wanted something that would just work more than something that required configuring everything.
