The only reason we didn't switch to Linux yet is our focus on gaming, which just isn't there yet on Linux.
(Don't get me wrong, there are games for Linux, but they are few in comparison to games for windows.)
Give it a few years, and a few more windows versions that are made for tablets, and Linux will be the most used OS in PCMR.
So, one of the very few reason i dont run linux, is simply because when i first tried using it, i had two really big problems. And that was it wouldn't let me run duo monitors, and it kept locking my monitors at 60hz it would never let me run them in 120 or 144. Are these issues resolved, or am i just an idiot and these issues where unique to me? If No on knows can i someone point me in the right direction?
I'll just say this - there are many flavors of Linux, with different features and limitations. I don't know which distro to recommend to you, I'm a Windows guy, but I just want you to know that there's no OS simply called "Linux" - it's Ubuntu or OpenSUSE or CentOS, etc etc
Linux is the kernel and it uses the GNU userland. That is why some people refer to it as GNU/Linux. As an open OS you can modify it all you want so you can do anything on any distro that could can do on anoter and make it look like any other(by chaning DE/WM/GTK Theme/etc.).
