Mack makes trucks... not computers.

But seriously, I would love to see some of these things desktop Linux does
so well.

Why not show the advantage of this as you use it. I use full screen on OS X
which is tied to virtual desktops. That integration works well. I do not
think it exists on any Linux system.

One thing I do like from many of the Window managers on Linux is the ability
to have windows "snap" to each other. Wish OS X had that.

You can get this ability on OS X... though certainly not what I would want.
And do not want my middle-click functionality taken over by paste. Yuck. But
to each their own.

Again, to each their own, but why put something I want to drag and drop or
change the font of or otherwise modify in my clipboard? Seems absurd to me.

Taking away my middle-click functionality would be nasty...

Right... to open links in new tabs, for example.
