How many of you completely switched to Linux?

[Ronco Pizatto]

I use Ubuntu for everything. However, I still keep Windows on my computer to remind me why i like Ubuntu so much.

True. A lot of popular games are only for Windows. I do mainly puzzle and card games. So no gaming problem for me.

I've responded to this thread before, but long ago.

I have my 10 year anniversary using Linux as my primary OS, in October this year.

I still use Windows, because my profession has software which is Windows only and WINE doesn't suffice. The software itself is time-based (income tax preparation. Software is updated regularly and every year it becomes obselete) and WINE would never bother.

For some months my laptop (Windows 8) and desktop (Windows 7) have been Windows free, in that I've installed a Linux distro and Windows hasn't been bootable. I could have fixed that, given the motivation, but haven't, until recently. I admit that I wanted to fix the Windows boot for several reasons, but haven't really needed to.

At work, everything is Windows, and I can't change that, but I so prefer my Linux. Dual-boot is my preference at the moment, just to have Windows available. If I wasn't doing tax/accounting, I'm pretty sure I'd be 100% Linux.

I finally dumped Microsoft completely and switched to Linux. I started playing with Linux about 4 or 5 years ago and finally decided to make the switch. I have 2 Windows programs that I still run periodically so I use a Windows 7 Virtualbox to run those programs. I am so happy i made the switch.

I'm getting there. The only thing that was keeping me in Windows were a few Windows-only graphics programs (RAM hogs so not sure that a VM would work), and, of course, my ipod touch.

But I've wiped out Windows and installed the latest Ubuntu (14.04.1). My goal is to either get the ipod touch working, or find an android ebook reader that fits in a pocket.
So, I'm really hoping that I can finally go 100% Linux soon! It's going to feel so good to finally ditch Microsoft once and for all

14.04.1 is not the latest, 14.04.2 is. If you are dealing with Apple stuff I recommend the latter or even better the almost-released 15.04.
Hardware support has improved a lot lately.

If you still have problems with 15.04 it's best to search the Apple forum.

Sweet. Thanks for mentioning this. If I can get my Ipod Touch 4th gen to work under Linux, that would be awesome. Thanks!
