I use desktop Linux. I mainly do web dev (serverside, Django), devops, and tons o' paperwork (running a 7-person company). I also use it (tho' not the same machine) for leisure, including browsing and the very occasional game play. For the things I mainly use it, it's very good for me. The tools available I mostly love. When stuck on another OS (Windows, OSX) I feel unhappy with the quality of alternatives (this is not to say that one OS is better than others - just that Linux is better at being Linux than OSX or Windows are :) and workarounds for my preferred workflow which are, unsurprisngly, tuned for the platform at hand. Stuff I use: * desktop: linux mint base, but openbox + tint2 "desktop environment"; terminator; * file management: bash (yes, really) * dev: bash; git; sublime desktop; ssh; chrome; firefox; virtualbox; * office stuff: libreoffice, evince; I do have a Windows VM for netbanking (sadly), and the very rare occasion that libreoffice breaks when reading a doc I received * gaming: bought most of the humble bundles featuing linux games, bought some on linux steam; i'm obviously not a hardcode gamer, tho When did I start using desktop Linux: when I switched from Amiga :) Should you? D'oh, it's a tool. Use what you like (and what you need).
