I'm not who you asked, but because I like to spend my day debugging my terrible code, not my desktop.
Before you ask, yes I do have a Linux laptop (Acer C720P ChromeBook, unlocked with Debian + Gnome), and with all the sudden issues that pop out of seemingly nowhere (my latest dragon is a recurrent kernel module crash that can fill my disk up with .core files in 10 minutes), I've switched back to a 13" rMBP. Though, I have heard that 2016 is going to be the year of the Linux Desktop...
- tingol 11y agoMeasuring Linux maturity by chromebooks is silly though. It's a hack. Linux on bare metal works really well these days. Especially if you use a machine that has linux in mind (ie dell xps).
- btym 11y agoI briefly tried switching to Ubuntu on my desktop a few months ago after being unable to compile some CUDA project on Windows. Gave up after spending several hours trying to figure out why it refused to set one of my monitors to anything other than 1024x768. Linux is easily the best operating system for productivity, but there are still too many issues to make it as comfortable as OSX or Windows for everyday use.
