I switched some years ago, albeit to Mint on all my desktops and Ubuntu in my servers. Never looked back, but keep a Windows VM used only very occasionally for two apps I still haven't found represented replacements for (Microsoft ICE and Album Art Downloader). There's a transition cost but ultimately the joy of a mostly FOSS mostly malware free life are payback plus. It's been a few years at least now and I feel very comfortably telling anyone that Linux desktops are now mature and stable enough to be a real joy... and driver issues are near gone.
Hello Bernd,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on my post. As you described it is a really big jump, to leave the comfort zone behind and just switch to Linux, but YES it is paying off. And as you had to, I also have to keep an SSD with a WIN on it, because I make music in my free time (nowadays I don't have free time). So, I use Cubase that needs WIN or MAC, cause of this, I also have to be able to switch back and forward in the future. :)
