+1 I have been using Linux for more than 10 years. Unless you have a program that is only compatible with MS then Linux is perfectly fine. There are newb versions easy to install (Mint, Ubuntu) or SuperGeek versions like Arch and Gentoo.
DP.
There is one interoperability issue I wish the Linux — maybe more accurately Open Office - community would fix. Identical fonts have different names in Open Office. So documents created/edited on Linux often look totally different when the documents are opened in Microsoft Office (happens both on Mac and on Windows). I cannot force my customers to use Linux, so this mis-formatting makes it very hard for me to use Linux for work.
There ought to be a simple fix, some sort of script that fixes the font names on Linux to match those in MS Office. I have not found such a fix yet.
