I tried Mint a long while back, but i don't think I've tried elementary.
Of course i have all the interest in learning other environments, i'am a Linux user and distro hopper. But i value liberty. That's the core of Linux. And that's MacOS' krypntonite.
I didn't meant it in that way. Mac is no kids toy at all. It's BSD based and we get access to the Terminal (thank god!). But i wouldn't be too surprised if Apple removed access to the Terminal with an update...
But that's just it: i end up having to resort to the terminal to do stuff that i can easily do in the UIs of Linux or Windows...

Regarding liberty, my question would be what exactly would you like to change? If you want to run another DE, you can't really do that (tmk), but you can alter the desktop a tremendous amount. That's why i was really curious as to what exactly you feel it is missing.
