If you are willing to trade a couple thousand dollars for a few hours of work I'm not going to stop you.

A few hours of work...on the first day of use.

How many more hours of engrossing touchpad driver jiggerypokery will any person need to do over the course of ownership before the cost of their wasted time adds up to the cost of a macbook?

Ubuntu takes 20 mins to install, and I have yet to run into driver issues on any of the 5 machines in my home.

I have worked at several VFX studios that used Ubuntu for their workstations. 250+ machines, an absolute joy to manage.

I'm sorry you guys have so much trouble, but maybe you should read the docs?
