Ask Slashdot: Mac To Linux Return Flow?

jasnw writes "I'm one of apparently many people who moved to OS X from Linux in the early/mid 2000s for their desktop system, keeping Linux boxes around for the heavy lifting and server work. I may also be part of a large segment of that group now considering a return because of all the iOS-ification of OS X, despite the fact that the Linux desktop still falls short in the 'it just works' area. I'm angry enough at Apple, and wary enough of Linux, that I might just go to using Windows 7 for the desktop (not Win8, however). What is the feeling/experience of other 'traitors' who run OS X for the desktop and Linux for everything else?"

If you don't take anything new from them, they won't take anything away from you.

You don't have to upgrade anything, and you won't lose anything.

You're argument is retarded. Its retarded to say Sony took away 'Other OS' when you could have simply not upgraded, its retarded to say Microsoft took something away from you when you couldn't run some Windows (insert anything before Windows 8) from before in Windows 8.

You don't get to say they took shit away from you when you actively have to do something yourself to have the change effect you.

You're blaming the gun manufacture for your suicide when your dumb ass put the gun in your mouth and pulled the trigger. Next you'll blame them cause you're too stupid to even do that right and just blew the side of your face off instead of doing the job properly.
