Typical response...
That's right... Install Linux everyone... That seems to be the answer to everything on this bias site.

My advice... Step away from the computer, head outside, let your eyes adjust to the blinding light up in the sky, and notice that there is more to life than the geeky little unproductive world that you've been sucked into.

For the rest of us who have jobs, we need productivity on the desktop.
