It's not a perfect or fail safe OS but sure beats the pants off the boarder line suicidal MS machines.

I hated how it was just a way of life to wipe your machine clear every once and a while here and there.

This is coming from someone who's used all 3 of the major OS's and rather decent working them, no means a pro though.

Won't argue with you there! I use all three OS flavors pretty regularly and I wouldn't use windows at all if I didn't need it to play the occasional pc game.

I know all about Wine, playing games with it sucks. Big time.

I have never run anything but Windows. I have also never had a virus or malware. Amazing what a little bit of vigilance can do for you.

Most of my PC gaming is RTS, FPS. Rome TW, Medieval TW, Company of Heroes, CoD4, Crysis, Empire at war, pretty much all of my PC games don't work with it lol.

There is a list of games that work on wine. It isn't very big
