There's nothing magical about the hardware anymore. There's no "IWM" chip in them. They're just laptops, which is why Linux will run on them. One of the strengths of Linux is it's pretty hardware-agnostic. This also can be a shortcoming, too, as hardware vendors often won't share data needed to build drivers, so those are often reverse engineered and may not have all the "features" one might want. > And I am constantly having to explain > to folks how to use OSx's weird task bar at the top. Well, yeah, but as you said, Gnome's weird. KDE is weird if you're used to Gnome or Xfce. Xfce is weird if you're used to something else. Every desktop is "different" and takes getting used to. And remember, under that cute, glitzy desktop, OSX is simply BSD Unix. (Shhhh! Don't tell anyone!
