Control what? The source code of an application? Or the kernel? I
have very limited skills in programming languages - I'm just an old
school music artist and multimedia designer. On OS X I have full
control over my personal creative workflow. But Linux was controlling
me in a way that I have to take care of lot admin tasks and bugs. Yes
the bugs and workarounds on Linux controlling me and I'm to stupid to
fix them all plus write my dream apps. I'm one of the guys, going into
a music store and buy a guitar and not one of the guy who'd like to
build a own. My handcraft is music, not wood.<br></blockquote><br>Control your workflow. I am on OS X now for most of my work, however I can't set up the same workflow I could on Linux, and what I can do is not nearly as easy or quick on OS X. I could control my desktop and applications much smoother and faster with some simple customizations on Linux than I ever could on OS X. I could tweak the visual aspects much more easily to that I was happier looking at my screen(Yes I do have a soft spot for eyecandy, and OS X doesn't come close to filling it).<br>
