Cosmic Skies of a Colorado July
I've shared my opinion on why mouse/trackpad handling is terrible on most Linux distributions [0], thanks to an insane obsession w/ rewriting the entire stack and throwing away vendor-provided acceleration curves in order to provide gesture support, instead of just building it on top of the correct, working solution.
More importantly, there is a solution for fixing this and I've done my part by open sourcing a multi-touch gesture support that's driver-agnostic and runs on top of the vendor-provided drivers w/ their correct acceleration curves [1].
(But TBH I don't know if this applies to Apple's trackpad because I don't know if there are any first-party drivers w/ proper acceleration curves for Linux or if they've all been poorly reverse engineered.)

Linux Touchpad Like MacBook Update: Touchpad Gestures Now Shipping
I wrote a general purpose multitouch daemon w/ gesture support for Linux that works with the existing input stack (i.e. doesn’t require switching to evinput), if anyone is interested:

What touchpad gestures do you use on Plasma?
Regardless of software (touchegg + touché, fusuma, libinput-gestures + libinput-gestures-qt OR gestures, gebaar-libinput, gebaar-libinput-fork, syngesture, gestures), which gestures do you actively use on your Plasma desktop?

Linux Touchpad Like MacBook Update: Touchpad Gestures Now Shipping
I use both OSX and Linux extensively. I had the choice to go either way for my work computer and I chose OSX (intel chip).
A couple of days ago I wanted to use a Ruby gem ( https://github.com/rubyjs/therubyracer ) for some random project. To install the library (compile native bindings), OSX wanted me to download an install 12 GB of crap (full XCode, it didn't work with the command line tools)... In linux it was just a matter of downloading and installing the gem (100MB at most). That's crazy.
What I dislike more and more about OSX is how they have been aggresive against developers and technical people in the last years (like, why do I have to jump through hoops to modify my /usr/lib folder with SUDO/root? I AM ROOT ASSHOLE OS, LET ME DO WHATEVER I WANT TO MY COMPUTER.
But other than that, it's OK.
