I have used it, i don't normally because some of my programs do not work in it [microsoft programs, sadly].

It is better than Windows, easily--i think. I would love to use it all the time if it could run the programs...that's all I ask. :P

There's more support for Linux than any other operating system. The only difference is that it's community based. The main forms are IRC, forums, newsgroups, and mailing lists.

I explicitly use Linux. Fedora is my distribution of choice.

Bar-none the best operating system on the planet, I will never own another Windows based PC, there is no good reason to pay for operating system software.
