How many of you completely switched to Linux?

Only Ubuntu since Dapper. My first linux was Red Hat 5, then Suse, Mandrake, Progeny ...Ubuntu is my main and only OS.

I'm all Linux unless you count some android devices, which are only linux by the skin of their teeth. They are certainly not GNU/Linux, in any case.

Other then at work..... I just don't touch Windows anymore. I Went from dealing with Windows (From Work Groups to Windows 7 ) to Mac laugh all you want... Holes, poorly written software and closed OS's brought me to the http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity I am now running Ubuntu KDE Plasma and I love it... It comes with a price of leaning some commands, doing things somewhat differently, researching options, and ultimately at least in my case I have a system that is stable customized ... You can run Windows and Linux, you can run Windows apps or even Windows with a VM or Wine

I have a totally fanless 20 kg desktop PC which I bought in 2004, AMD 64 bit processor with Windows XP (running good). My fanless power supply unit did not want to start my desktop any more. So for some months I used my already 5 year old laptop with a Intel celeron M430 processor with MS vista. I could remember it was very very bad, the MS vista was always horrible slow on the laptop, so I figured out this year, that I need to deactivate the windows search service, so it was faster. But the past years were anyway horrible with it, so I searched and looked for lightweight Linux, and found Lubuntu. I am using now Lubuntu, Windows only for 2 things - the software for my Canon EOS is only for Windows and MAC, and another special software which is only for Windows. I am very happy with Lubuntu, I can adjust so many things.

I have completely switched to Linux once, but now I have completely switched back to Windows

Now that I have everything working that I need, I am completely converted to Ubuntu, well Lubuntu, well, kindof... I start with Lubuntu because I don't need/want everything with Ubuntu, then I installed what I did want. Anywho, I think it's time to change my signature thanks soley to this forum because I can now do everything I used to do with Windows and more and faster!!! It took many months but I now LOVE Ubuntu!

Since the nVidia drivers are crap and cause full system lockup I don't see totally switching to Linux ever happening unless we get some real support from nVidia.
