Does anyone else use a non-Windows based OS for their main machine? If so what do you use, what do you like about it, what do you hate about it?

The curiosity stems from my own experiances as of late playing around with Linux distrobutions not only for my media server, but also my main workstation:

Suse 9.1 (IMHO avoid it at all costs)
Fedora Core 2
Xandros Deluxe 2 (great for beginners - based upon Debian).

I do not.

Probably because I see no point.

I actually just installed Fedora Core 2 on this laptop (I left WinXP on my desktop--it IS a gaming machine, after all). I switched 'cause, well, I'm a bored geek and wanted to learn linux. 8)

Although I think I'm going to wipe it and go with a lighter distro soon...possibly Debian, Gentoo, or Slackware...not sure yet.

I have been known to use Macs but since I am a gaming addict I'm sticking to XP atm.

The support staff (when you actually buy their bundled cd's) is horrid. Its a long story, but in the end my business partner and I were left with a very sore disposition against anyone from that side, new or old.
