> I got tired of having to fiddle with the system Never understood this argument... I use both Linux and OSX, I spend the very same amount of time to get from a fresh install to a friendly dev environment. Install bunch of extra stuff (either with brew on OSX or with dnf on Linux), import my config files (git clone my-dotfiles-repo), done. The only extra quirk on Linux is that I have to use a network cable until broadcom wifi drivers are installed. The rest is a matter of personal tastes... I believe GNOME provides an optimal user experience and I like it way more than OSX, but both stay out of my way enough to not care that much. |

You need have the original install media for each application because there is no centralized repo. For things you downloaded you need to go running around and re-download things, even basic things like drivers.
If you get the wrong network drivers because you misread a model number then you pretty much need a second machine.
This would be a minor thing if I didn't do a ton of windows installs when my friends and families got viruses. I have since given them one re-install and after that if they want me to clean up their virus they get Ubuntu. Dad and Grandma haven't got a virus since their Ubuntu installations and my Brother figured out his shit either he reinstalls and doesn't tell me or stopped getting viruses.
