Yes, it's the only operating system I use. If you want me to go into specifics, I use Arch with Openbox as my WM, and XFCE as another session. Ubuntu is alright, but apt-get and synaptic are retarded. Pacman is a better package manager.

I have used it, but never enjoyed it.  I work in Windows and play in MacOS.

Sometimes I use Unix, but that's as close as I get.

I've got spurs that jingle jangle jingle.
As I go riding merrily along.
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong.

Ugh, for some reason Linux just seems to be failing me. I have no clue why it runs so badly on this computer, so I'm hoping that the new Windows might run a little better. That, or I'll find a distro other than Ubuntu that can handle running on this computer better without leaving me frustrated beyond belief.

Windows, For when you don't know any better.
Mac, for when you think you do.
Linux, for when you actually want to get something done.

Ubuntu is great. Want to try fedora but it doesn't boot on my laptop... tried SUSE too I like the control panel but other than that I don't like it.
