ChrisL put it really well.
I started out with Windows 2.1 and have used all the variants.(Good & Bad)
But I stuck with XP till the bitter end until a few months back.
My experience kind of mirrors ChrisL, so I wont repeat blow for blow.
other than to say I tried a lot a lot of distro's early this year,
and also sampled their respective Forums(Good & Bad experiences)..!!
I did stick on Zorin8 for a month or so, it was very good, but just did not quite feel right.
Then I found Linux Lite which was also very, very good,
I posted a few questions... got excellent help, and as they say... "The rest is history"
It was the Forum that swung it for me, along with the pro-active Dev's..
I now have LL2.0 on 2 PC's & Laptop all networked & sharing.
