Ok, so I've been playing around with Linux for the last 4 or 5 months now. I can say it has been quite a learning experience. By far the best distro I've used is Ubuntu. The package manager is wonderful and compiz fusion makes for some very pretty eye candy. So below I will list the reasons that a typical home user should make the switch.

So summing up, I can see no reason for a typical home user to switch to linux. In fact the only benefit I can see is that Linux is immune to 99.9 percent of viruses. I use a modified version of XP called TinyXP. It is much faster and cuts out a lot of the useless crap (internet explorer, Windows media player etc) Driver installs are a snap in Windows, it took me 3 hours to figure out how to get my Nvidia card working correctly in Ubuntu.

For servers, network security testing and possibly laptops I can see the benefit of Linux. As far as a typical desktop user, I can't see a reason not to use windows.

Anyone agree/disagree?
