Twice I've tried going a year exclusively on Linux. Both times (2009 and 2015) I spent enough time fiddling with things to give up. Cygwin is pretty good. With sshd and putty you've got a decent setup. But there are still little things that osx does better. Virtual desktop support finally showed up in Windows about a decade late. But keyboard shortcuts are still a crapshoot. Text selection and cursor navigation being uniform across everything is nice once it all becomes automatic. Osx has its own list of problems... But most of them are solvable in a well supported way. Running Linux desktop full time.. logging in every day is a roll of the dice. The Year of the Linux Desktop(tm) just isn't here yet.
