Well admittedly my main reason for wanting to switch is not the kind-of-intrusive virus scanner. I want to experiment with a lot of tech and 99% of it is only accessible in Linux. I want to try more things than just what I'm paid to do today so that kind of finalized the decision. As for desktop Linux, I know it's a challenge. But I'll make it work. I feel it's a worth investment.
