BooHoo ... skype doesnt work so it must be Linux's fault. Macbook pros are intentionally designed to be difficult to dual boot so it must be Linux's fault.

Hey I have an idea. Why don't you buy a desktop and laptop with linux preinstalled (they are available online) and then try to install OSX on top of it and dual boot. Then you are really in for a nightmare. You will have to do a lot of hacking and in the end you are still pretty much guaranteed to fail. And then you can write a blog post about how you really love OSX but you are so tired of it.



Hint : macbook pros are incredibly easy to dual boot if you use the OS that comes with the hardware.

edit: feel free to mod me down, but it's the truth.


Right, and Linux has no compatibility issues if you use the OS that comes with the hardware.

But then again when people do not use the OS that comes with the hardware there may be some issues. And then bizarrely people inevitably blame Linux. I am pretty sure that installing OSX on a PC is just as hard or probably harder than installing Linux on a Mac. But people always complain about Linux.
