Used Linux as a desktop system since 2001, about KDE 3.x series.<p>Its been good for everything, editing photos&#x2F;importing from camera&#x2F;phones (digikam), organizing&#x2F;listening to music, some easier video production&#x2F;composing, torrenting and other file sharing, mostly programming (of course), gaming (sometimes through wine, sometimes natively depending on game). Technical writing. I dont do much else on computers. Havent ever felt, oh I really need windows or macosx for that. Not any real problems with drivers. Shit just works.<p>Avoided viruses&#x2F;malware without thinking about it.
