I love linux, but I use it for what it's needed, hosting servers, my wallets etc. But I'd not use anything but Window$ for everything else since it's so simple and easy to use Smiley

The privacy issue on window is more probably push me to choose linux.

BTW, how about mac os?

Mac OS is proprietary software. GNU/Linux ideology is the opposite.

I tried Linux a few times. I loathed it. I want something that just works and none of the various distros I tried could manage that.

Try it with 2 PC's.

For bitcoin use the linux one, for daily use windows is ok.

Did you try ubuntu desktop? pretty simple and easy imo, but i've been a linux guy for like 10-15 yrs.

Dunno if it was desktop but one of them was a form of Ubuntu. It was on a laptop that was rather tired. The cursor would uselessly trace a rectangle no matter what I did with it after installation. I doff my hat at all its fans but I'm happy with stinky old windows.

Maybe linux is better for virus protection but i use windows all my life, and i like it more than linux, so i would never change my windows 7 for a linuz. It won't happen.

Windows= lazy people/gamers
Linux = who wants to actually customize their system/not lazy/nerds
Well I like more Linux than Windows, but I use Windows because I'm forced to use certain tools that only on windows without wine works perfectly.

Being not into linux 100% of my like != laziness buddy. Some of us are just grown ups and have lives outside of recompiling gentoo every 2 days or emerging shit etc. Lol though. Cheesy

Other than gaming, I have no use for a winxx machine. And for bitcoin I would not even consider a non-linux computer.
