My thinking is that most people can probably be quite content with a Linux box for their everyday usage.

Running Ubuntu 14.10 for the last month. Took me a day or two to get DVD authoring going and setting up OpenVPN with port forwarding. Those were the last two things I needed to avoid that cluster Windows totally.

Did you do this for reasons of cost, tired of Microsoft operating system bullsh*t, or as a protest against Microsoft?

All of the above is also an good answer. :)

I understand the source code is available and anyone can modify it to suit themselves. I assume that's what people are doing when they set it up.

I heard that my favorite games, War Thunder etc, are available on Linux. Cool
