I've been going back and forth between Linux and Windows since 2006, but Windows 10 (which came on the second hand laptop I bought last year) has me switching to Linux entirely. All those constant updates! And advertising popping up when I haven't even opened a program. Last week I got a notification to "click here to start collecting Microsoft points." Are you kidding me?

Photoshop has a couple of tools that still frankly more handy than GIMP, and there are no good drivers for my Epson photo scanner in Linux. But other than that, I don't have to deal with Windows any more.

I used to run Xubuntu on the original Asus Eee PC. Solid distro. I've been a Mint man lately, though.

Anything but windBLOWS by Micro$haft is what I say ;) Still linux let's face it if you really use linux you are just installing what you want anyways. No real linux user sticks with what the base distro offers..
