Linux for a server operating system is awesome (in fact, a huge number of mainframes now run Linux). But as a desktop operating system, hardware support is still behind Windows, though.

That has not been my experience.

I don't have any hardware support issues with linux today. That is different from 15 years ago, but today, it just works for me.

I haven't used anything but linux for a desktop for years and years.

This is being posted from a Mint machine.

Whatever works for folks... I have yet to meet anyone that has real, persistant hardware problems.

I darn sure haven't and use linux pretty hard, including open-office.
