Even so, a lot of us who use server-side Linux would happily convert our last generation rMBP to client-side Linux when we upgraded to a new machine if getting Linux completely working on a client machine changed from something to brag about (&quot;I don&#x27;t know what you&#x27;re talking about; it&#x27;s easy&quot;, as a way of saying, &quot;easy for me, because I&#x27;m highly skilled&quot;) to something that was so reliable that it said nothing good at all about its user.<p>I really don&#x27;t like being so dependant on Apple, a company that has decided to optimize its product designs for thinness, fashion, and ways for people to whom folders are &quot;rocket science&quot; to buy stuff and amuse themselves, for our client-side *nix workstations, but desktop Linux isn&#x27;t as attractive a competitor as I keep wishing it were.
