What do you think about Linux?

I've been using Linux for years. Started with Mandriva then Ubuntu and then Mint after Ubuntu decided to use the unity gui and have amazon spy on me.
I have a dual boot system, mainly for safety, so in case my windows partition is inaccessible due to a virus or Windows messing up, I can still access my files and do basic work. I'm on windows 90% of the time because I might want to play a game but don't use any windows specific programs personally, so I could see myself using SteamOS in the future.

It's great

Linux says "Hi"

Great thing ;)

I've been a linux user for something like 15 years, most of the time with dual boot at home. Huge improvements have been made, you had to be a geek before, but not any more if you use a "user friendly" distro. Ubuntu is great for that, with most drivers included (install with internet access and it will get the missing packages if any).
I use OpenOffice, Gimp, and many others, and find that this open source software is stable and enough featured for a daily use. I also use them at work, which implies less licence costs for my company.
I'm writing this with Linux, as I now have 2 PC: this one for classic use (and some basic gaming), and the more powerful one with windows, in the living-room, plugged to the TV. It is nothing more (or less) than a gaming system !

Using Mint 15 right now. It's wonderful. Thw only thing I miss about Windows is with some programs. Wine can sometimes be a pain to deal with.
Also, don't get Ubuntu. EVER!

I'm using Manjaro Linux, basically it's Arch Linux with graphical installer and few small differencies. Arch Linux has a great support and is a very customizable distro, though it may be troublesome if you haven't got any expierience with GNU/Linux. My favourite games have already been ported to Linux or are Wine compatible, still I keep my Windows to play AAA titles.

Linux is fucking DeepFreeze! HAIL LINUX! HAIL UBUNTU!

I love it! Using peppermint os atm. It's a lightweight distro based upon Ubuntu. Looking forward steamos!

Use Linux if you want a free OS, use Windows if you want to use any kind of software on your PC. I suppose for general usage (internet, casual gaming, music, movies etc) Ubuntu is great, but if you want an in-depth usage (specialized software mostly), you'll need a Win for the purpose.

I don't think about Linux. Ever.

currently on Ubuntu. Kinda wanted some other distro but couldn't get graphics drivers, so i'm left with Ubuntu. Overall, Linux is the best OS. If specific MS applications is needed, than only VB is the option, otherwise all is great :)

I don't hate it, I think it's pretty cool. But there need to be more games on linux and also I think I know windows better so I'll stick with that for this moment

Linux is good in dual boot system. If something happens to your Windows installation (some kind of virus, deleted something by mistake etc.) you can boot in Linux, recover your files and then reinstall your Windows. And Linux doesn't give a single fu*k about viruses so it's very "bulletproof" (I might call it like that) OS. It's good to use as LiveCD too - has saved computer many, many times. Had problem where one computer had wrong partition setup so I couldn't reinstall Windows. And I couldn't get in OS either because if gave me BSOD all the time when it started Windows. So I used Ubuntu LiveCD, got in Linux, removed partitions completely and reinstalled Windows. Without LiveCD I would need to take out hard drive from my computer, put it in that computer, make mine primary through BIOS, boot in my Windows and only then I would be able to remove all partitions from that HDD.

I see you like Linux much :D I may try again, maybe I will stick with it. Have you tried Elementary OS? I like the idea about this distro and its really fast and based on 12.04 ubuntu. It is very optimized.

BTW What do you say? 3rd party drivers or open source, for example Nvidia drivers.

I like Linux Mint, for me it is more comfortable than Ubuntu.

Speaking about programs… I miss a gif editor. In gimp gif making is really awful. Ulead Gif Animator = one love. Sadly you can not even buy it now.

Every time i install any linux distro i regret it after a while. Nice OS and all but damn nothing works. I m having some fun trying to fix things through terminal but the low compatibility with programs/drivers/games is a bit annoying. Since im using my pc mainly for gaming and some surfing i dont find any better reason to install LinuxOS rather than dualboot for security reasons and stuff (which i do).
