Are we talking about actual Linux here?
Honestly from what I've heard you'd probably rather get a mac, just because everyone has hate for it. I can never use Linux, since I play video games. Basically, there isn't any reason why you'd really want to leave Windows with the exception of testing it out on "that extra computer" you have laying around.
The ponit is Microsoft has the most programs available, and it's a pain to port to Mac, so porting to Linux isn't unheard of, but it's not happening much.
Go on youtube and look up some of those fake Mac vs PC videos, some guy's adds Linux in, and it does put in in perspective.
My point? I haven't used Linux, I've been tempted but it's not for me and honestly, it seems kinda pointless for the stuff I use it for. Once the novelty wears off you usually go "Wow it kinda…sucks...." so give it a try, let the novelty wear off and mess with it before you find out you forgot to try that one program and it doesn't work now.
