Desktop has been on Ubuntu since 2014-ish. Work Laptop also Linux for as long as I can remember. I do have a Windows 7 instance in a VM for some Office document compatibility--though considering crossover Linux before EOL next year just take it out back and shoot it.

Free as in freedom, though I've enjoyed the beer along the way.

    Exclusively Linux desktop for me. Had a separate Windows machine in the past for some applications not available on Linux.
    Now that these applications are accessible from a browser, it's Linux only.

    I recently bought a Chomebook (Asus C434TA) as my travel computer. I realized that most of the work I needed to do away from home involved only the Chrome browser and Web or Cloud resources. The capability to install Android apps and not need to mess with low-level Linux network and video drivers make Chrome very stable and user-friendly. The ability to directly access the Linux CLI subsystem is a bonus feature to me.

    This Chromebook experience has moved me to be closer to the "Linux primarily, Windows occasionally" mindset.

    Nope, I still need Windows applications that aren't on Linux.

    I recognize that this post and the replies are many years old at this point, but just in case it happens to help kindle any still hot coals, I thought maybe I'd toss this on to see what happens. I started with a quite large, bulky Macintosh something-something that was a Boeing surplus hand-me-down unit when some cool cats got upgrades in the uber-early 90's. And thennn...
    Windows exclusively from 95 through the ick of 8/8.1 or whatever the heck that was and into 10...
    Jumped ship and climbed aboard the Apple boat for a wee bit...
    Jumped back aboard Windows just prior to 11... And began my interest in alternatives to Windows then, but was too chicken to actually do it until...
    About September 17th at two in the morning or there abouts. But it's not like I'm keeping track or anything.

    Now I am using Xubuntu exclusively, at least to the best of my knowledge, and trying to iron out some of the wrinkles.
