[Tfug] 2 weeks of Hackintosh fun..

[Bowie J. Poag]

Well, it's been two weeks now since I gave up my Linux desktop in favor 
of an Darwin/x86 OS X "Hackintosh" desktop.

I'm not looking back.

I've got some sobering news for you guys... I really think we're 
entering a post-Linux sort of era, if not already there.. Having enjoyed 
2 weeks of a consistent, elegant, functional, stable, efficient Unix 
desktop, there's really nothing attractive left to draw me back to Linux 
as a day-to-day environment. I'm sure Linux will always occupy a strong 
position server-wise, but as a desktop environment, the game's over.  
Even after 10 years going, the Linux community has failed to deliver a 
desktop with the attributes I listed above..That's about has frank and 
as honest as I can be with it.

Call me smug, but the thing I've always warned and yapped incessantly 
about is now the proverbial writing on the wall. If the primary 
development focus of a desktop project is to do nothing more than try 
and mimic an existing design, you'll resign yourself to perpetual 2nd 
place flea market knock-off status. Both KDE and GNOME are absolutely 
consumed with this approach, and it's only a matter of time before the 
end user realizes both projects have only succeeded at perpetually 
failing to deliver. If you're a hobbyist, that's fine, enjoy it.. But as 
a mainstream desktop, when it comes to Linux it just ain't gonna happen, 
i'm afraid.

Cheers,
Bowie
