And that is it. If you don't fall into one of the above three categories, you have zero excuse not to run a GNU/Linux distro as your only OS.
I switched to Linux Mint but you faggots still aren't happy and make fun of me for not running some needlessly complicated system like arch or Gentoo.
I've used windows my whole life. I don't like what new windows is doing. Mint seems to fit my needs and I will continue to use it as I have no compatibility issues with any of my hardware.

What does this mean exactly
Adrian Allen
Linux users pirate their beer.
Daniel Ward
Graphics drivers are absolute ass. Even if games/3d software come out for linux it's gonna suck dick. Also screen tearing. Checkmate atheists
John Clark
