If you value your time like that you might as well sleep 2h less and earn 400$ every night.

This is not a fair comparison because there are a lot of benefits of troubleshooting, most of them intangible. If you don't like it fine, just get a Linux "certified" laptop or a Mac.

I responded to a person saying that he could, with enough time, make Linux like Mac OS. I'm saying it's not worth the time for many people, might as well just buy a Mac OS native laptop.

I don't see how buying a Linux "certified" laptop figures into this - they aren't "mac-like." And I agree with you, just buy a Mac if that's what you're looking for.

I wouldn't want to overstate the effort, we're talking a day at most. The reward is a machine that you have a high amount of control over.
