The first time I tried Linux, I had a dual-boot system with Windoze, which was a mistake (in retrospect). I found myself going back to Windoze more and more often, since it was easier using something I knew.

Just this week, I backed up my files, ditched Windoze, downloaded and exclusively installed OPENSuSE 11.1/KDE 4.

Some minor glitches, and I still have a lot to learn, but I’m confident that I’ll do well with it. No more worry about virus scans, running SpyBot, updating Windoze with security updates, etc. I’ve pretty much found replacement programs for everything I have on Windoze, so I’m happy.
