Best eyecandy available on an OS, most stable (Open source!), Low system requirements, can run most Windows programs as well as all Linux programs. It's the best, but not a lot of companies support it as of right now, so I'm left without official drivers for my Logitech G15 keyboard, and webcam, and mouse. That's the only bad thing I can think of. Oh, and neither my ethernet nor my wireless doohickeys in my PC are supported natively, so it's a real pain to get packages and dependancies and stuff.

It is not my primary OS, but I will tell you why it would be. It has the most free programs (by percent) compared to any other major OS, it is very user-friendly if you don't try to do complicated things, looks nice, stable, fun, and it's a good learning experience.

i agree completely, If it wasn't for games linux would be my main Os since it is user friendly, it has nice eye candy and on top of that low system requirements, maybe in the future I will get a linux only laptop, but until it can play all windows games I won't make it my primary.
