XP pushed me to Linux 13 years ago, and I'm still here. Go Ubuntu! Here is my UbuntuMATE desktop that I modified.

I must say, I like Linux a lot. But Ubuntu? Of all Linux distros that's the one that is closest to Mac OS.

I guess as long as people are taking steps in the right direction, it's all good :)
