I've run linux on and off as my desktop for the last 12 years or so. The current iterations are much better than even what existed a few years ago, but still lacking in application support for what I spend a lot of time doing. There is no Final Cut, or even iMovie for linux. Despite all the raves, I could never get the hang of Gimp and found it lacking for things like photo editing and cataloging ala Aperture. Not to mention the countless times there some application I wanted to use and it seemed I could only find a binary or package for an linux varient that wasn't what I was using at the time. Chasing dependencies, etc. When I used linux as my desktop, it just seemed that I was always fighting the OS if I wanted to have full support for my hardware features, decent applications, and up to date patches. Now, for a server, I'll use almost nothing but linux.
