use Linux exclusively at home

All Linux (NO WINDOWS!) at home 17 months ago

Everything has gone smooth. We started with an Ubuntu LiveCD to smooth over the Windows XP to Ubuntu transition. Everything works the same, mostly faster on the same hardware, so the obstacles are fairly minor. Biggest problem was having to buy a third-party printer driver (TurboPrint) to support my Canon Pixma printer. I don’t even miss Windows. Still stuck using Windows at work, but that’s out of my hands…

use linux more often than windows

Woot! 22 months ago

Absolutely worth doing. Everything works, no admin headaches, no long, vulnerable periods waiting for vendor to patch their security holes. Wide variety of software. Heck, if you need to run Windows software, most of it will even run in Wine, even Windows Firefox binaries and Windows Flash plugin for Firefox binaries work fine so you can watch on-line videos that “require” Windows. I haven’t looked back and am very happy that I accomplished this goal.
