Same here, but with a twist: out of the box, Linux makes it easier for me to install the things I need to do my job. The display, power management, etc. issues are all frustrating, true, but ultimately not as important.
Different folks have different priorities.
- jbob2000 8y agoWhat is your job? What kind of things do you install? Kind of curious, because no matter what machine I use, every time I start fresh, it takes about a day to get up and running. Linux is even worse because of drivers.

- karlmdavis 8y agoI'm a software developer so for me: dev tools, basic shell utilities, PostgreSQL, Docker, etc.
- koffiezet 8y agoAll those things work pretty well on OSX. I really really like Linux, but only on CLI. Every time I touch a desktop running linux I get frustrated. OSX isn't perfect - but as a productive environment, it's the best fit or me personally. And I'd love to upgrade my 2013 13" mba with an mbp, mainly for the display, but the keyboard issues on recent mbp's make me hesitant of spending that much money on it...
