This is that depression the comment author is talking about. Apple fans will make it a point to lash out at Linux for not being a trillion dollar company supported product. Only depressed people lash out at the parts of the world where communities are trying their best.

Everything was pushing me in the direction of buying a new laptop (with a small discount relative to the new price) and transferring everything across.
