I've gone back to Windows myself. It has the everything-just-works -easily factor, and it's compatible with everything I need. I liked running Gentoo, but the rare broken ebuild and lack of just-works-easily eventually wore me out. Vista ftw.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Linux isn't for everyone. Neither is Windows, and neither is Mac OS X. There isn't, and probably never will be, an "end-all be-all" operating system. You just have to try them all out and choose the one that best suits your needs.

Linux has the potential to be for everyone(in fact with ubuntu this time may have already come), Mac and WIndows do not,

From recent installs the only problematic area has been on one laptop (my bro's) the wireless chipset was a broadcom - we had to use ndiswrapper to get wireless going - its not the easiest process I admit but generally speaking hardware detection is pretty good - and getting better rapidly.
