Linux is great as long as you aren't expecting it to be "Free Windows" (as so many folks do; It's not by a long-shot; It's an entirely different animal altogether). Embrace the idea that it's gonna be somewhat different, as a fair few of those differences are actually significant improvements over the way Windows often does things. I ditched Windows back in the Win7 days, and haven't regretted it one little bit. Microsoft doesn't own my computer. I do. ;)
