Overall I'm damn happy. I'm surprised by how many basic things are faster, just opening and deleting files is fast. For some reason, something as simple as emptying the Recycle Bin in Windows is slow as hell; and I didn't realize how bad it was until daily-ing Mint.
Me and several of my friends have switched recently, with others showing interest or partly switching already.
I switched 14 years ago but it really is shocking realizing just how much you were either used to or sort of worked around dysfunctionality with Windows because…that's just the OS.
