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.

First thing that ever made me switch was MacBook Bootcamp drivers weren't available for a time, and things just worked great on Linux, even the broadcom wifi drivers right out of the box. What made me stay was the infinite amount of customization I can do, and that all of it is stored in one of two places and can be so easily backed up wherever needed.
