Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro running OS X and friday night I partitioned it and are now using rEFIt to boot between my OS X and Ubuntu partition.
Originally, i was a Linux user, and for the last couple of years, an ubuntu savvy. But in january 2010 I bought a new MacBook Pro and has become a die-hard OS X lover ever since. I've owned iPhones and iPods for years, so apple wasn't at all new to me, and day-to-day tasks is so comfortable on OS X. But the Linux hacker in me has started luring in my conscience, and I miss the all the possibilities of ubuntu. I am a software developer, and Linux and ubuntu wins over OS X by far in that regard, though I have used OS X for developing the last couple of months.
I'm thorn between ubuntu and os x. I'm a person who enjoys having one thing to serve my needs. I hate the idear of having two partitions with two different OS's. I know I sometime in the feature have to choose.
I miss the endless possibilities of Linux for hacking and software development and the possibility of dictating the OS. But I know I will miss the simplicity and just-working of OS X, which is way better for doing homework, documents, imaging and webdesign, music and photos.
What are your take on this? Have you been in a similar situation? What do you think?
Have a nice evening,
ChrisBuchholz
