Every single program I have runs Flawlessly on Linux Mint 17

Look...I get it. Linux is not for everyone...Yet. This is not a thread about M$ vs Linux.

I just wanted to publicly extol the current state of Linux. Specifically Linux Mint. Even more specifically Linux Mint 17 KDE.

I want to stress to EVERYONE reading this, that there is not ONE SINGLE piece of software that I ran in Windows that doesn't run Flawlessly in Linux.

Granted there are times where I have to research. For instance. Getting Falcon BMS 4.32 to run I needed to disable "triple buffering" in the in game configuration in order to get it to run. But that was a five minute Google search followed by a 30 second setting change and viola.

In fact..my favorite game X3TC on Steam runs better and smoother in Linux than in Windows.

The only reason I mention this is because do many say..If Linux just ran my games I would switch.

Well it does. Of course sometimes a little research is required..but the community is so incredibly helpful the solution is just a thread away.

Now forget games...Linux does everything thing else (almost everything else) better.

Internet browsing..office..email..gpg..pgp..etc etc.

If you have been on the fence about trying it, please just give it a shot.

You can literally "Test Drive" any Linux Distribution without making ANY changes to your current O.S. install.

There is literally ZERO downside.

Just saying. If it's not for you...No big deal. I understand if you want to stay with Windows. I don't even fault you for that choice. So please, don't flame here for those who might try Linux.

Cheers.
