My story of transitioning from Mac to Linux

Have you tried Elementary or Mint recently? I've been really impressed with Elementary - including in those specific areas you brought up as common deficits in Linux distributions.

I think the key is for distributions to focus on specific niches that Windows and Mac fail at and based on their values, business models, etc. will always fail at.
