I don't want to spend the time to fix them myself.

There is very little to fix anymore unless you go for exotic hardware. Granted I went very safe with an XPS and Xubuntu, but I don't think I've had a single "how do I make this work" moment.
Ah yes wait one, I had to activate the keyboard switch for the webcam to be detected, but that would have been the same on another os.
If you don't switch, are you going to use only Apple products your entire life from now? Seriously?
There are many, many devs right now who is switching from MacBooks to Linux machines because Linux on the desktop is really nice (just not perfect), and you suddenly feel very much alive again when you don't sit and wait for Apple to fix your problems. You fix them yourself, and you no longer care for the next version of IOS or the next MacBook etc.
t's freedom, honestly, truly. You are single again. You have left the bad relationship. You are free and happy. So much choice all of a sudden. It's great!
