Yeah, Linux can be a bit of a learning curve, but I think the main thing is that Linux OSes aren't mainstream enough and are lacking in various ways... eg: the Windows programs we're all accustomed to. 

Having dabbled with Ubuntu and Mint and finding the above to be true, I saw this coming, but VampireFox needed to try for himself so he could decide what is right for him.

Anyhow, VampireFox, no foul, no shame, and welcome back.  

+Chasbo  I was however I was having issues with getting some windows games to work and the ones that are Linux supported had some major bugs as well. Pretty much 80% of all my games are Windows only along with all the software that I paid for so I had to switch back. I didn't want to go back to Win 10, 8.1 was an option however I was able to go back to the good ol days by getting a couple OEM keys which totally convinced me. Windows 7 is the last good Windows.   

+Starkers I've actually used Linux quite a lot, and I love it dearly, especially Fedora Linux.  If all my Windows programs and games were available and worked properly on Linux I'd be using it for sure. Thanks for the understanding and the warm welcome back!
