also, if you *used* to use Linux on your personal computer but don't anymore, what made you switch away from it?

for me: I'm on a break from Linux right now because I was having some extremely annoying power management issues I couldn't figure out (it kept running out of battery while asleep), and there was some Mac/Windows-only software I wanted to use

@b0rk
Perhaps not the particular issue you had, but: some Dell machines, especially, follow suggestions from MS to never actually deep sleep, even when you set them to sleep (they force "S2idle", not "S3"). I have this on my work laptop.

Here's a description of the issue:
