I wonder why apple doesn't allow or support Linux?

I wonder if it might be possible somehow under Boot Camp. Or if on a machine as beefy as a Mac Pro if a VM would be good enough. I don't know enough about either to say definitively.

The dealbreaker for me is no ctrl key in the corner

System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys

You can use this to remap caps lock to control too — I do it.
