I've been using Linux since February. My experience with Linux started mid December, when I ordered a Kubuntu LiveCD from Canonical. Two months go by. I install Linux, and was one happy camper. A few weeks went by. Why was it that pain full? I switched to Fedora because Kubuntu was treating me like an idiot. Video card wasn't support, so i took it out. Hung out with gnome for a while, felt the interface was gimped, and switched back to KDE.
I'm only 16 minus a day, but I've been around the proverbial block a few times.
The only real trouble I've had is gaming. I have NWN, UT99, Tremulous etc... but I don't have Warcraft3 for my RTS fix. I'm screwed for MMOs also, because I cant get wine to run WOW. None of the good MMOs compile a Linux version either. And yes, I like Warcraft based games.
Insight:
I've found that people don't switch to Linux due to lack of games, and game developers don't port them to Linux due to lack of users. It's a vicious cycle, I'm glad Dell is helping to end it. [Dell ships with Ubuntu] This just in, Dell sucks alot less.
