Developer, and long time BSD user who has dabbled in linux. I keep trying to get away from Windows, but it keeps being something I have to use for work. So many businesses use C# and Microsoft SQL Server for their back ends, and IE 11 support is the bane of my existence for web development. Maybe it's different in southern California, but everywhere else Windows is still king.
