I have been using Linux as my main OS for all of my daily tasks for a while now. I have been running openSUSE for years, and the last time I did an actual re-install (not upgrade) was with 11.3 (2010) on a Dell Vostro laptop. Everything works, including media keys etc. etc. (they do not without extra software on Windows). I am currently using openSUSE 12.3 Tumbleweed with KDE 4.10
Since I am not a programmer, my program use differs somewhat from others here:
- Emacs + LaTeX (texlive) + Okular/Evince → work
- Shell (zsh) + Krusader + Transmission (torrent) → files
- Shell (zsh) + ssh + openvpn → networking & administration
- Chromium / Firefox / Thunderbird / mailx → browsing & email
- Kaffeine / VLC → videos
- DeaDBeeF → audio
- Emacs → "programming" (needs bigger air-quotes, but: shell scripting etc.)
I couldn't be happier, really, especially now that the future of gaming is looking brighter with Steam. I also practically live in Emacs for everything work-related.
