Ugh, sorry to hear that. I can imagine the new interface designs being pretty annoying for Mac Pro users. I have also thought about making the jump back to Linux, but really enjoy the sturdy unibody build quality of macs. I'm also less inclined to fiddle with OS customization and tweaking than I used to be in college, which I did a lot of when I was in Linux land.

Why not put Linux on your mac?

  Hardware support/ease of setup mostly. I ran Ubuntu on my iBook PPC circa 2005 or so, and it wasn't a great experience. Has hardware support for the modern mac lines gotten better in recent years?

    It's usable but hardly ideal.

    Absolutely. E.g., check out the Ubuntu wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro

Original Mac Pro owner here, it runs better with 10.8 than it ever did with 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 or 10.7. I can do every single thing I was able to do in 10.4, including the ability to run 10.4 if I wanted. I don't though because just like clinging to XP, you do yourself no favours by not taking advantage of all we've learned about computing in that tine. Honestly, turned your machine into a phone? Give me a break. OS X at it's core is the same as it ever was. Besides those who make extensive use of virtual desktops, most people don't have a good reason to feel otherwise.
