I would try posting on the forums, people there are really helpful. And yeah, I'm liking Unity a lot more than I did.
EDIT: Actually, Ubuntu overall.

Try Gnome 3. A lot of people hate on it, but I find it to be nice.

It's been a while since I tried Ubuntu, but I remember the myriad of issues I had with Ubuntu and getting it on my second monitor. At the time I had to modify an 'xconfig' file or something, where I had to copy the parameters of my first screen, and change them to fit my second monitors' settings. After that a reboot fixed the issue, with the exception of being unable to change any sort of settings on the second screen. Granted that this was around 2~3 years ago, so I'm not sure if this has changed in the mean time.

Not the greatest motivation to try Gnome 3, haha.

Linux OS:
- install it, feel like a hipster and start telling everybody how amazing it is.
- discover the windows emulator
- realise that you are using the windows emulator for 80% of the things you do on your PC
- go back to windows.

I stopped using wine 3 years ago.
I use it to hax wireless signals, open up mysterious compressed files, and be anon.
Also on my server(s).

Honestly, I feel that it's just easier to have Windows be the main partition, and just use a virtual machine for linux. Honestly, you can fullscreen it, and there's virtually no difference than having linux being your main partition.

I hate to say this but, Windows owns at least ~80% of the market share for personal computers, so, I'd say Windows is mainstream considering the vast majority of people use it. Since the *nix community is gaining popularity, I'd put that as "trending."
And not everyone uses an emulator, and I'd look that up with Ubuntu before you post more about..

Mac OS is just as mainstream in the ironic hipster sense; everybody's trying to hop over to it because it's different and unique and nice and whatever else they pull out of their asses, but most of the time they're just on the new wave bandwagon with all their other corporate tool friends and don't actually know anything about computers, much less Macs.
and also obviously the more you spend on something the better it is RIGHT LOL
somebody's actually tried to say that before in a real life debate

I agree with you there. But you can't blame them, I mean look at the other tablets we have, look how different the software versions are and the hardware is, they're difficult to maintain. It sucks that Apple has a monopoly on their devices, but if I were to buy a smartphone or tablet right now, I'd have to go with the iPhone or iPad. Expensive yes, but it's a business. Sometimes you have to pay a lot to get something that works, and works well. Ya know?

Within the last year the Android market actually overtook the iPhone, in my opinion. The only real argument against it at this point is the comparative sizes of the App Stores, but honestly that's a weak case because the Apple App Store was once just as small. It's all about development, and being much newer the Android technology will obviously take a period to catch up. The hardware in the phones is already superior, and in my opinion ICS (I have the Galaxy Nexus and have been running 4.0 since I was the only phone able to) is much better than iOS.
