Don't do it! Linux needs as many users and advocates as possible. You've grown used to open software, now you want to go to closed proprietary software and hardware?!

Keep your current Linux setup and spend the money you save on games and lapdances. That's what I'd do.

Ubuntu 64-bit user.

I wouldn't ditch Ubuntu or anything like that; it would be my main PC still. I want to try something different, and be that evil and proprietary it'll have to happen ...as long as someone comes up with something I can't have on Ubuntu.


 Well, since its not for use as your main pc, I'd go for a second hand unit if you just want to try mac.

If you want to try something new from an IT point of view, give a BSD a try:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bsd

http://www.freebsd.org/

FreeBSD is the most widely used BSD

http://netbsd.org/

NetBSD has a version that will work on pretty much any computer like device you can think of.

http://openbsd.org/

OpenBSD an ultra-secure OS

http://www.dragonflybsd.org/index.shtml

DragonflyBSD the ease of Ubuntu with all the benefits of BSD.

 

All these run either Gnome or KDE, so if its a purely aesthetic change you want, ignore this post. If you want a challenge, try one of them.
