Well Linux gets better battery life on my laptop than OS X. (11 hours with ubuntu gnome 14.04).
> my Mac recognizes and uses a second monitor when I plug it in
Not mine. And this is a common problem:

Also, I had issues with sound going out and not returning until after a reboot on OS X. This drove me nuts.
Thing is your points only apply to OS X if you run it on Apple hardware. If you get ubuntu certified hardware you will have no problem running ubuntu either. Ubuntu is going to run on more devices with less issues simply because the linux kernel is designed to target more hardware than the OS X kernel.

- cmiles74 12y agoThis is a fair point: Apple has carefully selected the hardware that OS X runs on. Most people interested in Linux expect it to support, without issue, whatever laptop happens to be lying around.

- Teovald 12y agoI had the sound issue as well. When I close my laptop lid with an headset plugged in (and especially if I unplug it before opening the lid), Mavericks totally looses track of audio and behave erratically. I have been able to make sound work again by killing the coreaudiod process. it is very brutal, but it works.
