Linux Ubuntu user since 2004ish, tried Linux Mint when it first came out as well...went back to Ubuntu.

I dumped windblows and NEVER looked back, no dual boot, no WINE. I want nothing to do with windows.

There's also a lesser chance of getting trojans/viruses using Linux (notice I said LESSER CHANCE)...considering 90% of that shit is written to attack the high-tech, slow to catch up, copycat, swiss cheese OS, windblows.

Yep, I'm biased, I shouldn't have to lock my PC down to barebones functionality as well as need to run damn-near EVERY piece of security software on the planet just to surf the web (using windblows of course). A substantially LESS amount of worry and dread when I use my PC since I made the leap to Linux (friends and family STILL complain about their PC issues, I ignore their pleas for help and tell them to switch to Linux). I call it "tough love" and those 'Help, my PC is broken" calls, emails and texts have pretty much stopped. Wah, wah, wah, mom, you should've stuck with Linux.
