I lasted a few months. I found I was much less productive (than in Windows). I was spending hours debugging simple issues, and I just couldn't get it to feel like home. So I bought a PowerBook. It took me about a week to get back to my Windows level of productivity, and it went up from there. My heart is with Free software, but I can't be burning that much time wrestling with the operating system. I long for the day that I can move to GNU/Linux with only a minor decrease in efficiency, but it doesn't look like we're there yet. I went to Ubuntu in 2005. I lasted a few months.

I want to know what those high cost are and the tearful experience issues are. I'm guessing they are tears of joy. I' trying to decide whether to go Mac or Linux for my next computer. I'm looing forward to your opinion. Arrg.

Even though I have no immediate plans to use linux on my laptop, I was very conscious of ordering hardware that I knew the vendors were at least supportive of linux drivers. Happily, I've experienced no issues at all setting up my old (home-built) desktop as an opensuse web server. Sorry to hear about the minor issues.
