I'm not saying Linux is bad. I'm saying switching from Mac to Linux is going to be a much bigger adjustment to your workflow than getting a new dongle or a few different shortcut keys (considering that at a minimum you're going to be switching cmd to ctrl for nearly everything--unless you already live in the terminal).

It's really not that hard. I am forced to use Mac at work, while using Linux at home (also with very different keyboards), and getting use of making a mental switch when needed is matter of months. It is not much different than learning to use more than a single keyboard layout.
Yes, but the switch is a one time inconvenience. If it's stressful, they can ease that with a $1,500 vacation with the price difference.
