FWIW I did the opposite. I had elementaryOS optimized for laptop use running on a thinkpad T430s. I was happy with it for a bit but ended up reverting to a MBP for the following reasons:

- As others have pointed out, the MPB gestures/touchpad are second to none. The size alone, let alone the responsive and consistent gestures are conducive to my productivity

- OSX posix support has never let me down. As of today, I have been able to develop anything on a Macbook that I would use linux for. This increases my productivity and battery life

- On some variations of linux, notably elementary (which I somewhat ironically chose in order to get as close to the OSX experience as possible), alt+tab goes to the next open window as opposed to the one you most recently used, as it does on OSX. This drove me crazy

- OSX has more support for more apps than linux does

- You can always run linux in a docker container or a VM if you absolutely need it

Just my two cents for someone who is weighing between Mac/Linux

OS X is literally missing half of semaphore.h. Actually it's worse than that because the functions aren't technically missing and your code compiles the whole time as you write it but when you run it you find out that nothing works because all the functions do is print "function not implemented".
