Stay with win 10. The Mac OSX isn't that great as there are restrictions because what you want to do isn't the "apple" way. And it does look like the latest OSX is heading to be like windows as it is becoming slower on boot-up with the fake desktop display where you won't be able to do anything as the desktop is just for looks before everything is setup.

A huge problem is that crapple won't allow anyone to change the system font size; not even with their "patented" retina displays. Had seen ref to the system fonts at least back to 2004; didn't matter too much then but with hi-rez large sized monitors, maybe 20/10 eyesight is needed or use a magnifier on apps that uses the system fonts. But then windows may be heading that way as win8 killed the ability to change the font type but not font size, yet, which for OSX is reportedly either point 6 or 7.

I do have a Mac Mini with 8 gig ram; added the ram myself as crapple wanted $450 for 8 gig while I got the 8 gig for $45 locally at Frys. Reason why crapple is making lots of money as the latest Macs has the ram soldered which would make the price higher to make more money.....

Anyway, if going to a Mac, it would be prudent to install one of the Mac app versions of linux on the Mac.
