I loved Linux at work when I had a sysadmin. Shit worked great.
At home I started using Linux and despite some driver issues, it was mostly good.
Then I started working for myself (so no more sysadmin). Some Linux update totally screwed up my computer and I lost a lot of work. It also became too much work to try and configure the apps that I needed to use for work. Switched to windows and it's been pretty smooth sailing.
Still boot up Linux now and again for this or that, but I don't trust it enough as a daily driver for my needs.
What distro were you using? I had a problem with most distros of eventually dying on me until I installed Debian, which I have been using like a year without a problem
