I know a few guys who use Linux as their main OS. They just use Wine whenever they want to game.

Last week I realized that I haven't been using illegal software for quite some time now, not because I'm against it but because there was no need for it. Linux all the way.

Atm I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with the mac look (http://lifehacker.com/5290955/mac4lin-gives-linux-desktops-the-complete-mac-look) which has some really nice features and I like the multiple desktops rotating thingy like this:

Best of it imo is that since it's open source, alot of people are always working on improving it and any help you need you can always find online somewhere. Where stuff like windows if there's a bug, you're not allowed to fix it even if you have the knowledge, since you never own your copy.

Current setup:

4 partitions: 2 primary, 2 logical

1: primary, ext4, 60gb, Linux Mint
2: primary, swap, 4gb
3: logical, ntfs, 64gb, serves for holding virtual machines
4: logical, ntfs, 112gb, serves for personal documents, the stuff I don't want to lose

The VM is currently Win7. 3 and 4 are accessible to the VM.
