I’d gotten so used to crashes that started with a lockup under windows, leading to my poor char’s death, or save corruption…

The freeze and then resume feels like winning the lottery. :D

I’m closing on my six months anniversary of not booting into windows. I wish I had converted earlier as well.

Not having to deal with the whack a mole of problems that was windows is so very lovely.

A few ongoing bothersome problems that honestly amuse me, and I’m far less stressed when something does go wrong that I can’t fix.

Haven’t had a game (so far) that I couldn’t get running, and really only miss one program that I could probably run under Linux if I really wanted to get dirty.

One ongoing problem for some of my games and it’s so random that after spending an hour trying to fix it I decided I didn’t care enough, because I wasn’t having the crashes I used to under windows. (The game freezes, and will stay stuck until having tabbed out to Steam (and only Stream), tabbing to anything else the game stays hung. Then some process comes along that I don’t see, frees everything and I’m back to playing happily.)

Oh absolutely. It’s running Ubuntu for a couple years now and it’s so much better.

I was always particularly fond of windows turning my laptop on, running updates, and then going into hibernation, which then caused a blue screen trying to come out of it.

The laptop had sleep and hibernation disabled, all of the wake-on-events and automatic updates were disabled as well. (It was an older cranky thing and deserved rest - or to be taken out back and shot.)

Yet, somehow it always turned on for update day, even after I blocked it from the internet via the router.
