Awesome dude! Glad to hear you're using Linux! If you ever need any help just pm me, I should be able to help you out. What distro are you using?

Thanks! I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 right now, I might stick with this one and not upgrade to 15 next april, I'm quite happy with it, not only looks great but is intuitive and user friendly!

If I could play videogames in Linux I would stay there, but like it has been said before most good video, audio and videogames are in Windows.

Well Steam OS is an option but there isn't a vast selection of games. It's something. Having an OS dedicated to gaming will definitely gain attraction from more developers and companies.

I finally made the switch to Linux, and Im enjoying it a lot more than expected. Not so difficult as it seems, makes you think a little bit more than a normal winows-user experience, so it's fun and exciting if you enjoy challenges, and it's free software!

You can use alternativeto.net to find alternatives for the software you are used to.

It's been a second since I tried linux for the nth time but I always like how Windows 'just works' (usually). With Linux it's like constantly googling for the next secret handshake to fix whatever issue.

But.. Linux can def have advantages too

Linux distributions like Ubuntu are opensourced which might be more secure than Windows and you can compile it yourself.

Compile it yourself?
For a beginner, that is really not an option.

For beginners it's not. Linux isn't really an option for users who aren't very advanced with computers. Windows is better since there is a lot of support for it on the Internet. Linux is for the advanced users who know how to differentiate between chalk and cheese

Ubuntu can still be used by Newbies. It was easy for me when I used though Linux doesn't support GUI like Windows. I don't like Windows much because it isn't open and very easy for a malware attack. A malware can auto-run without are permission but this can't be done in Linux. We actually need to run a script for a malware attack, so it is secure. Correct me if I am wrong!

You can use linux if you are new, feel free to download

Tail Os 1.3 that includes electrum and it can be ran from usb and will have persistent memory.

https://tails.boum.org/download/

If you want to learn, you can get elementary Os and read some guides, you'll be enjoying a lot more after you have some knowledge on linux and can tweak it by your self.

Pretty much this. If you are not scared to learn of course

It's just that you used windows first is which why you prefer it and why you're used to it. If you stated off with Linux you'd get to know it like the back of your hand

I started with Windows, and usability-wise it Linux feels much closer to it than Mac.

Might I just add, if you use Ubuntu, it's actually very user friendly. If you haven't used linux before you'll learn quickly with Ubuntu (at least I did)

Apple is one of those Ginger children(no offense to Gingers, I love you guys) who devour your soul and make you buy every overpriced simplified product they create.

I'm not looking for an argument with you Apple fanboys

What you talking about, I used Apple products and services everyday! I don't see anything wrong with being like everyone else...

hahahaha, way to offend Apple users AND gingers in the same sentence Tongue

Loved the small text, really. Reminded me of iTunes user agreement.

It was the best accurate comparison I could think of.

Makes lots of sense. What if my offline device gets broken, or burnt, or w/e? Is there a super safe way to store bitcoins? I'm getting to the idea there is no 100% safe way to do it. My online wallet could get hacked and my offline USB/HD could crack...

you can use offline wallets and save your private keys in paper then put it somewhere safe so that even your hdd or usb got a problem so can still recover your stored coins
