Oh my. Tons of customizibility, you can make it do whatever you want. Also, if you run Linux, you become a 1337 h4k0r immediatly

I have used lots of Distros and for ease of use it has to be Elementary OS > Ubuntu

A better question is what features do you use on Windows that justify paying for it? Why is it the free thing that needs to justify its position over the one that you need to go grey market for (effectively piracy) just to not pay between £60 and £100?

 

My media PC runs kubuntu.

The first computer I ever used was Fedora Core. It is just symbolic.

More supported programs and games without having to use buggy wine, cleaner look IMO, and a more streamlined experience.

Its free, and its open source.

If you don't like the look of Linux, change it, that is the beauty of it.

Except love... :wub:

[Vivilacqua1]

I used to use ubuntu, before I wanted to play my games again

 

Wine just never liked me, so I just went and got a copy of Windows for $25 from G2a.

 

I miss my linux.

Work.

Changing it takes time and effort, as well as a big understanding of the distros etc

[Snooli]

Debian with Cinnamon or Gnome3
