and I wish linux wasn't a horribly buggy hard to use desktop OS.
Fortunately my macbook combines a good desktop environment with what I need for work. I just my windows PC for my games and such. Linux can sit on my server where it belongs.

What, fonts looks like shit when you attach your non-retina external monitor to your shiny retina MacBook Pro? No biggie, just open Terminal or iTerm and type:
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3
sudo pmset -b sleep 10 # sleep after 10 minutes on battery; use System Preferences to set display off times
chflags nohidden /Users/[username]/Library/
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
killall Dock
Compared to the state of "Linux on the desktop" when I first used it, it is absolutely amazing -- no more manually configuring my NICs using jumpers, no more writing a PPP config file (and chat script!) by hand (from scratch), no more running out to buy a different video card because mine isn't supported.
It's not perfect by any means but it is certainly usable by a majority of the population.
