OSX is for people who have better things to do than fiddle and futz around trying to get x to work with y and spend half there life searching the internet for updated drivers and posts for why their machine keeps BSODing. I've been a poweruser and support worker of Unix/Linux/Dos/Windows3.x/Windows95/NT/2000/XP/Vista/System7/8/9 and OSX for the last 30 years. If you want to use your computer to get things done, be creative, enjoy the process, and have time for other things - get a mac - period. If your slowly draining-away life is worth little to you, waste your time and/or money on the other hacks.
At the moment, OSX is the state of the art. Study the history of OS technology and this will become quickly evident to you. But it's your life - feel free to squander it in ignorance and jealousy as you see fit. Bash away...
