Sadly, apps I need only run on Windoze.

But I am about to dedicate my core i7 quad laptop to gentoo, though this ultrabook will likely stay on win7 for awhile longer... Other laptops may get other linux distros on them -- perhaps arch linux on the next one?

My main desktop machine now has Win 10 on it (but I rarely use it). I am thinking of making a Beowulf cluster from the bulk of my quadcore and octocore desktop collection (but they do make the power meter spin when I fire them all up). Though now that I recycled all my (perfectly working, but heavy as hell) 25-inch CRT monitors, they will have to be "headless"... The CRTs often ran at 1920x1440 (interlaced), but I like my 4K LCD displays better.

Yeah, linux distros are less of a pain, except when I was trying to run multiple video cards of different brands in the same machine (which worked fine on windows, but linux? not so well)...
