How many of you completely switched to Linux?

[vexorian]

I am a gamer. It used to be that WINE worked 95% of the time 70% well, except on newest gamers. Nowadays, I can even run SC2 on WINE without much issue. Either way, to me, the newest games were never good enough to justify booting windows.

[hughh]

I've used Linux/Ubuntu for 3 years now and love it but alas I'm still shackled to Windows and see no way out:

1. Can't find any income tax software

You can do income tax online with a browser.

2. Netflix only works on windows

Have you see this How-To Wiki? It's probably not what you want, but it's something....

I want to erase Windows but unfortunately, I'm still a gamer at heart.

I as well, just a gamer but, a fan linux

I use mostly Linux. But because of FlightSim X I also run win 7 on my MacBook in bootcamp.
Stationary runs Linux and XP, second laptop runs on Linux, and so do my acer aspire one.

Linux is smooth, and works great!

I like linux and run scientific linux (not my fav) but, really wanted ubuntu or maybe mint LTS. I had issue with 12.04 dvd I bought from retail store, they won't refund nor give another cd. conical has not got back to me so,I am patiently waiting.

I started using Ubuntu in early 2009 (8.10, dual boot with XP at that time). It has been more than a year since I wiped Windows, and Ubuntu is the only operating system running in my notebook now.

I'm not really a gamer. Web programming activities is not a problem since Apache, PHP and MySQL are readily installable from the Software Center. For my digital artworks, Inkscape and GIMP do the job well.

Dual boot with 12.04 and XP 'cause my work requires me to access the same files as others in the office. Sometimes Calc will pollute the Excel files during translation and retranslation.

I would like to use linux solely but i need windows to run matlab for my college. So i run virtualbox with windows xp. I just can't get myself to getting used to octave, who knows perhaps when i have some spare time to set it up to my liking it is going to be ok.

I wish I could switch to Linux completely, I'm sick of Windows.
But I've got to keep it around for games and Rosetta Stone, mainly. (I can't get my mic to work!)

I think it's safe to say that most of us has something that binds us to Windows. I wish there was more support for mainstream retail applications

Those that are concerned about gaming, it is getting better.
