Well, I´m writing this in Thunderbird while using Ubuntu in a GUI, I´ve
used a GUI in Linux since Redhat 5 in 1998, the command line is useful
but the GUI is comfortable.
You can run Windows, OSX, and Linux all at once on your pc if you like,
see this page here http://tinyurl.com/n4qv7 or these
http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_Guides#Dual_Boot
if you want something else.
The flip from OSX 10.4 to 10.5 caused all manner of consternation just
like the change from KDE 3.5 (stable) to KDE 4 (remix)
http://www.kde.org/ with the Linux desktop, just one of many popular
Linux desktop managers of which I prefer Gnome http://www.gnome.org/
Interested in trying Linux with a GUI, then I suggest Ubuntu as it is
the most popular right now, http://www.ubuntu.com/
Happy computing!
