A thousand times this. I never got so far into Linux, but I did run a Linux desktop as my primary system from about 2006-2010, and switched back to Windows because I got sick of fighting with it. I still run Linux on my work boxes because it's a much better environment for the development work I want to do, but I hate dealing with the maintenance. This is anecdotal, but here are a few issues I've run into within the last year: 1) This week Ubuntu updated something in the graphics system which FUBAR'd multi-monitor support for both myself and my supervisor (we have quite different hardware setups). 2) Support for suspend/resume is flaky, and has been for years - I'd never know whether either would work after a distro upgrade, so I always cold-boot Linux. 3) Broken network drivers on the install disk for Debian Testing around the end of last summer - I forget the workaround (if there was one), but I had trouble installing it on two different (very vanilla) systems. If I did more dev work at home (and had $1000 to burn) I'd probably buy a Mac, but as is my Linux VM on Windows setup works fine.
