Control what? The source code of an application? Or the kernel? I
have very limited skills in programming languages - I&#39;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&#39;m to stupid to
fix them all plus write my dream apps. I&#39;m one of the guys, going into
a music store and buy a guitar and not one of the guy who&#39;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&#39;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&#39;t come close to filling it).<br>
