#1 Since you have a liking to apple hw. Ubuntu does support apple laptops so if your heart is with apple hw - give it a ubuntu try. #2 Sublime text, Komodo edit, Netbeans, etc. What is your complaint on IDE front?. #3 This is a post about Linux suitability for development environment. If you wanna play games get one which is more suited and use it for the purpose. Even a dual boot environment. Mixing development environment effectiveness with ability to play games on it doesn't even sound right.
