For you, maybe. For me, I have zero intention of going through the hassle when I can just use Linux instead. Any hassles here are easily learned and generally don't _require_ the use of third party stuff doing black magic under the hood.

Fair enough, but Linux brings hassles of it's own, at least my Linux box does.

The issue for linux are often things you can't solve at all. Like poor power management.

If anything, Linux is the only OS where you can solve that. Plus on modern kernels, battery life is seldom worse than on Windows.

I'm not following here. Apple has great power management. Sure, it's closed, but you can actually rely on it today. Put linux on it and all of a suden you have power management issues.
