Few months ago, I was pretty excited to get my new Macbook Pro on my hands. It was a great experience to dive into an operating system which I've almost never used. Docks and panels were great eyecandies as you know. Unfortunately, since I get bored pretty easily, I wanted to play around and customize my mac. I really hate that stupid dock even now. I placed it vertically, either horizontally. What I really wanted was a window list which help me easily access to running applications. Also less possibility of doing stuffs in Terminal dissapointed me. When I want to quickly open a text editor and write some stuff, I can't run it from Terminal and edit file I wanted. Of course, it is the case when I don't want to use Vim. Also I hate that the way Apple control its products and keep them in their ecosystem. Which is a big advantage, since their Iphone is used widely in North America and all over the world. Also it was one of the few reasons I tried Mac. Apart from their limited operating system, I found their programming language Objective-C and its syntax little bit annoying. Luckily I've a small, light and powerful Thinkpad with an old IBM Thinkpad keyboard which is a pleasure to write.
After I got my new Thinkpad, I install Linux mint and Arch Linux to play around. And found out that battery life wasn't that bad as my older laptops' were when I installed Linux. Which is what I've been looking for over those years. And I'm happy that finally open course communities have made it.
