I honestly tried several. Ubuntu was the easiest. But I was really getting tired of running wine to intall a game and was just kind of annoying. And running a game through wine ended up making the game run slow.

And...I dunno. It just wasn't for me. Nothing against the OS in general, I think it's fantastic, but for me it's kind of like people that have tried to make me switch over from photoshop to GIMP. No thanks. It doesn't work right for me.

Every CS major I've known has been at home with linux. It's got some really cool tools and I love how it has a list thing that links me directly to downloads of popular programs that I'd use. makes it easy. There are things that I loved about it.

But I still hate windows for the most part. And I've become very well at home with mac. I guess I'm the stereotyped web designer using a mac XD
