I'm making the first effort in many years to finally be rid of windows,because of recall. I'm really uncomfortable with the idea that once that is implemented I really will have no un-monitored/spied source of computer usage. It used to be almost impossible to reach some sort of usability parity linux/windows but I think its possible now. A big part of that is with computer power long surpassing daily usage needs the lack of cutting edge driver support on linux is no longer as big a deal.
I started with ubuntu, but I also am pairing it with NIX package manager. I'd like to use this experiment to get familiar with the disposable OS paradigm. I think that could be a killer feature to move away from windows. I don't see them ever getting windows to be rebuildable on demand.
I realize NixOS has some hurdles and learning curve though.
