3. Linux is SO nice to have.

I kept my Windows machine for a year, sitting, collecting dust, "just in case" there was something on it that I might need after I switched to Linux.
I am not a gamer, so that aspect of the change did not bother me.
After a year, I could find no reason to keep Windows around at all.

i love the way Linux "cleans itself" so there are no zillion copies of the same file hogging resources.
And Mr. Dixie, in an effort to tempt to change to Linux ( I can be a bit stubborn at times) built me a machine that has
500 GB of memory.
so nice to be free of Gates World.

Regrettably, cannot stream Netflix even on the new app, my ISP is unpredictable.
