IME wifi isn't much a problem anymore. Might want to look up the chipset before purchase to be sure, but I've had zero issues since maybe 2006? Sleep is still

Sleep is still kinda annoying. Every once in a while my machine ends up not going to sleep when I close the lid and I end up with a hot brick at 2% battery when I take it out of my bag. TBF this has happened to me with MBPs too, though.
Battery life is a major differentiator. Mac wins there for all normal use cases.

- pkaye 10y agoI just switched to a 4K monitor for my Ubuntu desktop system. Everything was automatically recognized. I just had to use one of the settings to scale things up to my liking. Beyond this, a couple apps were still of the wrong font scaling so I had to tweak them individually. Lastly the console and boot fonts have to be changed separately but there was an online link that gave me the command line settings to make those happen. In the end the effort was not not much more than I dealt with in Windows.
