I'm still getting used to everything. I've used Windows my whole life, 3.1, 95, 98, 98SE, ME, XP. I used a Mac OS for all of 15 minutes one day when I tried to check my email from a school lab a few years ago. So, Linux is...different. I'm actually quite surprised that I've been able to do everything I've wanted to do so far. I always thought everyone stayed away from Linux because it wasn't compatible with so many things. So far for me, at least, I've chatted through GAIM, typed up a letter, browsed Myspace, ripped a CD, burned a CD, installed some Firefox extensions, played BlackJack... :lol: A pretty solid experience thus far.
Now, I'm not a true convert (yet), as I'm dual-booting WinXP, of course. I can't quite cut the cord just yet. I use some applications that are Windows-only, such as Adobe Pagemaker and Microsoft Publisher. I also need to find a compatible newsreader that can handle .nzb files. (Suggestions?)
Overall though, I am really impressed. I can understand why people switch; the default GUI in Ubuntu is so very soothing.
