Just got into Linux Ubuntu. Amazing, aside from the lack of software made for it, that's my only quam.

I have two separate hard drives, so I split them and use one for surfing and networking- Ubuntu, and the other for work- XP.. Not that Ubuntu is any bit less professional, it's just I need to operate Flash and Photoshop for work since I'm VP of Graphics.

Any thoughts? (Don't mention Mac, I'm a hater)

I have no fault with Linux (worked on Linux servers), although it seems to be more of a pain in the butt from what I've read to get drivers to work with certain hardware etc. Definitely not for the faint of heart. I run Windows 2000 Pro currently.

This made me laugh, me too. ^_^

I work with Linux sometimes when I do freelance work, so I'm familiar with it as far as shell commands, etc. Although I am more familiar with Unix. I don't think I would like it as my operating system. Too much chaos to get things to work properly and software is not always made for linux as was said. Most of the programs I use are Windows only, which would make it tough.

For the average desktop user, one who browses internet, writes documents, watches movies, listens to songs, etc Linux is more than sufficient to cater to those needs. Linux's hardware compatibility has improved by leaps and bounds. Its much better than searching for your hardware for Vista. On Linux, most of the drivers come by default built into the kernel.

I would suggest GIMP for Linux, but I don't think there is a flash alternative. And yes, the gaming scenario is quite bad on Linux.
