I wish Linux were more popular but I think so many of us are stuck with windows or iOS because of office compatibility.....my laptop is my work computer so I need PowerPoint word and photoshop and illustrator to be compatible with other people so we can work together. My only experience with Linux was my little n800 and I have mixed feelings about it. There is so much customization which is cool but you also have to know what you're doing to some extent to get things to work...at least at that time on that device you had to pick sort of sub files to install or not rather than just clicking through an install. For those of you on Linux can you tell me why mint? I thought ubunutu was the best supported?
