Viable Linux Destop?

jaguar · 08-30-2001, 01:56 AM

I've been dual booting on my main desktop box for a long time now but ie decided to go 'cold turkey' and delete my windows partition. i've been told by a number of friend who use linux extensively that they all swap back in the end, has anyone used linux for a desktop for a long period of time? For refrence i decided to go for Mandrake8/KDE2.2 due to its ease of use and userfriendlyness for a desktop box (i was playing with Debian, but installing it and setting it up is far to much of a hassle for this)
