On December 2007, I bought my first laptop, a brand new MacBook Pro. A friend brought it to me from US. Since then, I replaced my home computer and my work computer almost entirely (I still have my work mail on the Linux workstation, and I don’t plan to move it on my laptop soon, and I didn’t transfer all the feeds I’m reading from aKregator to NetNewsWire).

After more then 2 months of daily usage, I wrote some notes on what I like/dislike on OS X vs Linux. Perhaps other Linux users that want a prettier user interface will make the switch to another Unix based OS.

Although, a couple of A-list programmers/bloggers/writers already made the switch back to Linux (Ubuntu, mainly), I will give this OS a try (at least the period needed to earn twice the money I spent on this laptop doing freelance jobs).

This photo shows the US layout, which I like compared to the European/Romanian layout. Read more of my notes in OSX vs Linux, two months report
