I've been using Linux exclusively as my desktop for the last 10 years, as does everyone in my company, and I like it quite a bit. In most ways, it's a lot better/faster/more usable than Windows was for me.

I'd guess that Linux is the least-sucky OS.
What version do you use? If I can ever afford a new box it will be Mint, I think.

I used Fedora early on, and then switched to Ubuntu because it's releases were better supported.
Fedora forces you to upgrade every six months, whereas Ubuntu has long-term-support releases that are good for 4 years.

"Link favorites"? You can add whatever links you want to your desktop. And who drags links from applications? Go back to Windows 95, grandma.
The only person I know who keeps a ton of shit on his desktop was a 90 year old man in my office, who ironically had to use Windows. And the desktop was literally nothing by icons. Icons over icons. He couldn't find anything.

I invented linux. Torvaldis(not his real hame) stole it from me.
I also invented microsoft windows. Bill Grapes and some dude named epstein stole that shit from me also.
