*warning long rant*

Well, I guess you could install linux and bsd tools there, but then again I don’t really get the point of having a mac. Well, it might be me not being able to grasp the “magic” here, but I could buy probably 5 or 6 of the machine that I use now, for the price of one of the cheapest macbooks, and well, it just fits me better. but it is more or less a taste thing, I’m not into flashy design, I just want something that works and isn’t in my way, and that is just what I feel that I can do with linux.

I just don’t see your point with “macs being more hackable than ever” it’s like buying a ferrari (same thing flashy design big pricetag) and then put on it tractor wheels, wunderbaum, and start fuzzing around with it, yes you can do things with it, but still it won’t be something that really is too pleasant. When I want a system that I can do what I want with I expect to be able to do what I want, if I don’t want to use the mouse I don’t want to use it, I want to be able to move menues around, take them completely away, I want to be able to delete things I don’t use, and to be able to easily use a different filemanager or open a different menu with the left or the right click on my background that I can customize and have it fit in just as snugly as the one that came with the system. I guess I can do most of that with a mac too, but it will be something that is bought to be a status symbol, flashy design, sleek lines, white plastic, and I don’t see why you would get that kind of thing for messing around with it, when it would be easier and done for a fraction of the price with a usual computer. But well here I go on to a big rant again, and noone really wants to read that I guess so if you made it here, congrats I don’t mean to piss anyone off, it’s ones own choice, I just don’t understand, and it would be nice to get to know

I get a bit curious when you say that it is a lot of work in linux, I pop in a puppy cd now and then, and I don’t do anything to get it to work, it just works. The same can be said about most of the “big” distros I don’t see how any of them are any more work than a mac, that just makes me wonder how long time it is since you actually used a linux machine, if I want something on a win and probably also a macbox I would have to find an executable or a dmg on the net searching, seeing if it is the newest version, then I would have to install it (wizard or dragging to applications) and if I wanted to update it I would have to do the whole thing again, plus I would have to deinstall the old version, in arch I pop up my terminal and do packer -S *name of command* and then it installs it and automaticly update it, I don’t see what you mean with it being more work.
