Copy/Paste actually works in OS X. This is huge. Sleep works on OS X laptops. Sound and video just work.

Linux will never fix these things. I ran linux for 10 years and those 3 issues were there that entire time.

Yes, I miss many things, especially around keyboard shortcuts and multiple desktops, but overall my experience on the mac is better.

Apples to oranges. You built your own Linux box but you bought your Macs from a store. Someone has to make sure sleep works, video cards work, etc. When you choose to build your own box that responsibility falls on you. You're blaming the OS because you bit off more than you were willing to chew.

True, but I wish selecting an extent of text copied it to the clipboard like it does with many Linux apps without the need for Command-C.
