> None of these are quite deal breakers. Sure, I have to open and close my laptop lid three or four times to get the external monitor to switch back on, and and the login prompt will only show on my laptop screen which gets set to 1% brightness every restart, so if it's sunny I have to stick my face right against the screen to see it.

I know there are tradeoffs everywhere in life but man, these are deal breakers. I'd install windows in my brain before I put up with having to push my boulder uphill just to log in.
