I used only Linux for around a year (RH7.3/RH8). It ran great for me, and taught me a lot. I didn't play games, so that wasn't a problem for me. What WAS a problem (and what made me go back to Windows) was that I lost all my settings (in my home dir and /etc) during a backup and reinstall when I got a new machine (stupid CD was bad, but burnt fine). After looking at how much data I had just lost, how many hours of vi-time and google-searching were down the drain, I said "screw it" and went to Windows. Also, Windows has a program to make my DVD-ROM region free (there's no RPC1 ROM out for it yet). I love Linux, and will probably run it in the future. For now though, I'm sticking to windows.
