> I very much doubt that any pc laptop married with any given Linux distro will ever be a better macbook experience than a macbook
And thank god for that. If Linux was reduced to a Mac-like experience, I would probably move on to something else, and quickly.
I need something for a power-user, something configurable, something which puts me in control. I need something which I can adapt to my needs, to flow with my work-flow. Something I can mold as I see fit. That is the promise of Linux.
What I don't need is ooh shiney rounded & patented buttons at the cost of everything else, with the late Steve Jobs having made all the decisions for me, with everything cast in stone. Oh sorry. Ceramics. My bad.
If you like it that way, good for you, feel free to stay on the Mac. A Linux laptop is supposed to be different. If you consider that to be at odds with a Macbook OSX experience, you're entitled to your opinion and you're probably right.
But that doesn't make the Linux experience bad. It just means it's not for you.
