It's what I did too (well, BSD, not Linux).

I was just sick of Apple catering mainly to the rich consumer dicking around on Facebook and not to the more technical populace who wants to control what they own. I'm very happy to be off Apple, it really felt like a breath of fresh air and still does 3 years later.

That has been Apple since the Mac Classic days, what is the surprise there?

Early OSX had fewer guard rails, up to about Snow Leopard

Apple was almost bankrupt, they had to play nice for a split second.
