Yeah, OS X is great.
What, fonts looks like shit when you attach your non-retina external monitor to your shiny retina MacBook Pro? No biggie, just open Terminal or iTerm and type:
You're upset because in Mavericks sleep and display off times are lumped together? The solution is just a few keystrokes away:
sudo pmset -b sleep 10 # sleep after 10 minutes on battery; use System Preferences to set display off times
Want to see Library folder in Finder?
chflags nohidden /Users/[username]/Library/
Don't see the point of Dashboard? Terminal-fu to the rescue:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
killall Dock
... etc, etc. Don't get me wrong, my home server runs on Debian, and boy it was an adventure sometimes to install non-blessed packages (read: something less than two years old), but unless you're using an appliance (read: iOS device), every OS have it's share of weird incarnations if you want to do anything, well, advanced.
