What's wrong with Linux on a properly supported laptop? (OS X also sucks on improperly supported laptops... much worse than Linux, in fact). I find GNOME 3, in particular, much more productive on a laptop than OS X.

I have a number of friends who swore by linux but then never looked back once they got macbooks.

Also, Linus Torvalds uses OS X on his macbook air.

I don't doubt your anectodes, but the idea that Linus uses OS X on his macbook air is hilarious (according to what he's said, he's a Fedora user, and has retired his MBA in favor of a Pixel).

I work with one person who went linux -> OSX and two that went OSX -> linux. All seem very happy.

It's almost like OSX isn't the One True OS, and that different people have different preferences.
