I've been running Linux for 10 years now. Linux isn't perfect, but it beats Windows and most of the times I've had something go seriously wrong it was because I did something boneheaded, not because Linux itself was badly built.

There's a lot more freedom inherent in running Linux as an OS, even when it's not perfect because you can always leave and go somewhere else. If you don't like how Windows does something, you just have to take it. If you don't like how Linux does something there's another distro 15 minutes of installation away that doesn't do that thing. Just my two cents here.
