Two weeks ago I made the radical switch from Linux to Mac in the hope that I would achieve the advantages of a fully supported, integrated platform (Apple/OSX) without losing too much of the pure power, security and flexibility of Linux.
So far, my hopes have been hugely exceeded and I have already benefited from massive productivity improvements, had a great deal of fun, and achieved things in a few minutes which I have wasted hours upon hours trying to perfect on Linux.
The process of adding functionality to my MacBook Pro is still more akin to Linux than that other operating system. Still need to do some research (ie Google-ing) and often need to give the system a bit of a helping hand. Since OSX is Unix, this is straight forward to someone with my background… may be a bit foreign to someone moving from the “Dark Side”!
