[QUOTE="directeuphorium, post: 967644, member: 136902"] you're going to miss the Linux community above all else. Many of the ubuntu programs will run on OSX. But you will miss the community. the mac community is no where near as helpful, interesting, or knowledgeable about computers and the inner workings of an operating system. IF you have a problem at all, expect to hear "take it to the mac store" from at least one person no matter how simple the problem is to fix (Which gives you an idea of the community you're getting with your mac.) But there are exceptions and that is starting to change slowly as more and more Linux and windows users switch over to the mac platform thing you will gain.... DRIVERS! glorious lovely updated and always working drivers for all your hardware. but you can dual boot the macbook and not have to choose one or the other. [/QUOTE]
