[Linux-aus] Laptop advise

[Tennessee Leeuwenburg]

I understand you can run Linux raw on the hardware. I use VirtualBox and
have not the slightest issue, but I understand my usage patterns may not
match the needs of others. My main performance indicator is how well my
text editor works when I'm coding :).

More and more, I find I can do my Linux stuff directly on OSX without
needing to reach out to Linux.

I'm happy to give more feedback on my experience, but I really couldn't be
happier.
