All of my servers are Linux, but my desktop is a Mac. I do have a friend,
however, that everything he uses is Linux, desktop, phone, server, all Ubuntu.

All of my laptops and even my tablet (!!!) are dual boot. Usually some
Ubuntu flavor + Windows. Sometimes triple boot.

My primary desktop is Linux, as is my router, Nagios server, and
several other servers. However, I also have a smattering of other
machines, with Mac and Windows, which I use primarily for testing,
since I need to support those platforms, and I have a few applications
that won't run under Wine
Linux desktop, but do have a Windows VM due to some vendors that still make
proprietary thick clients and management tools that require it.

I use Windows, Mac OS and Linux, every day. I still use Windows for my
primary work desktop OS, but I have a Macbook Pro at work and another at
home. Most of our important servers at work run on Linux, as does one of
my servers at home.
Different OS' are good for different reasons. I don't
One (older) Windows user surfs the web and answers emails; the other just
surfs the web.- Nothing else. Neither user has the time to learn anything

Hello Michael,
It is very rare that I use Windows for myself. I do have to support it,
but I have not had a reason to use it at the house or away for many
months now. I do have Windows 7. It came on one of the drives on my
laptop. It has likely been 6 months since it was booted.

All you have to do is ask them how much time they spend fixing the
computer. If they are surfing the web they are likely wasting a lot of
time fixing something that should not be broke.
If those running Windows ever looked at access logs of others hitting
their system they would likely be
Do chromebooks pass muster as a Linux based solution? They may fit the bill.
(I pretty much only use chrome os and Ubuntu all day long.)

I do mainly Linux. Dual boot my laptop with WIN10 (I hate to waste a paid
for license). I use windows mainly in support of others that won't move to
Linux (wife uses Win for work, they are a win only shop, I support several

I dual boot both win8.1 and Linux Mint w/one IBM PC on XPpro. Mostly use

Almost, no Microsoft for 17 years. But I do use a hand me down

I use nothing but Linux and Linux derivatives like Android at home, and
FreeBSD on some personal servers, just to have something that's

One reason I ask is because I have a co-worker whose time gets wasted by
supporting (two older) Windows users. If I can show him a very low
maintenance Linux (maybe Mint 17) system that saves lots of trouble, I
think he'd like that idea.
