For a while I've been toying with the idea of moving to Linux. I like the idea of it, I like the idea of the customisability, and I have plenty of niggles with Windows. AIUI, lack of compatibility with certain Windows programs (I'm a heavy user of Sony Vegas, Cubase, and Photoshop, for example) isn't much of a problem as WINE can emulate Windows fine.
But the more I look in to Linux, the less appealing it actually seems. For example, here is an article giving 20 reasons why you should switch to Linux yet I go through that list and many of the points it's listing as a plus I either don't care about or see as an active minus. I also question some of the points - for example it says that the key reason for lack of malware on Linux is that the software repositories mean that all software is vetted first. But doesn't that rather assume that the main vector of infection is downloaded software? I don't think that's a safe assumption.
Seems like the best idea is to get input from actual human beings. So here I am, doing just that. So...if you're a fan of Linux, can you explain to me why?
