So what did it take for you to go to Linux?
(kbin.melroy.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Privacy - the main reason. Besides for that were a lot of annoying and ridiculous reasons to switch like:
BSOD in the middle of gaming/meeting/etc,
forced updates that made it impossible to shutdown your pc without installing an update first
I could name further and further but those are the main reasons. Now I'm using Debian for 2 years and it is the best distro by far.
