I too prefer a Linux desktop, but too many of the apps I rely on still aren't available. The day Photoshop and Ableton Live get ported is the day I switch back.

I still haven't found a Linux distro that really behaves 100% reliably on a laptop either. Suspend/wake issues and flaky wireless behavior eventually became dealbreakers for me, even if the blame lies with the hardware vendors.

It's a nightmare to try to use Ubuntu on my MBP at my University. It seemed better in 10.10, I didn't get a chance to try it in 11.04 but that was my biggest frustration.
