I have been using Ubuntu almost exclusively for quite a while but I still use windows for Excel, which is unavoidable if you have really complex spreadsheets that you have to share with other people at work.

Linux, The Desktop of Choice
I have been straight linux for a long long time and still just as happy as ever.
Current Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu 18.04 X64
Ubuntu User for 10+ Years...
Phone: Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 on Android O
I have, since ages (back to 2004, I think). However in Mexico, for paying taxes is imperative to use Windows, so I keep always a partition with the preinstalled (and pre-charged, of course) Windows. I have a dual boot but Linux, and Ubuntu, for the most of the time, is my default operating system.
Ego sum in porta limine.
I am now using Ubuntu 100% at home.
I've been using Linux since 2007, and after one week I ditched Windows for good. Glad to avoid all the problems that my friends and colleagues still have. Most of them are using Windows and are afraid to change. I don't see any reason why, but there are many good reasons to upgrade to Linux.
Games? Stop wasting your time and GROW UP!
Been using Ubuntu for several years now, probably four or five years actually. I would never have even known the community existed had it not been for my dad. He's been around the block a few more times than I have, and when I got my first laptop a few years ago, he ditched Windows and installed Ubuntu 12.04 (the stable release at the time). I'm spoiled to the Linux world, and can never really be comfortable in Windows. I don't think I would ever get rid of Linux now.
He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes, but he who never asks is a fool forever.
Does this count?
I switched my (92 year old) mother-in-law to Ubuntu after a nasty piece of malware got her Win10 machine. New SSD and 18.04, a browser with the links she uses and a solitaire game. Finallly, Teamviewer for support.
That was a month ago. She needed TV support initially, but nothing for 2 weeks now. Wife (Win10) and daughter (Mac) sceptical at first, but coming around.
