Yes, a number of times.
The last version, which I still have on a USB stick in my desk draw, is a Live version of Mint. That was quite usable. But I cannot use Linux full time, as I use a programming language all the time, AutoIt, that is not supported on that OS, and except for simple programs won't run through Wine etc ... not properly anyway.
I use a lot of my programs daily etc, that I have crafted and wouldn't be without them, they are too important to my PC usage.
If I was a young man, I might have given Linux a better go, except I don't have the right mindset ... not nerdy enough ... my brain doesn't work that way ... it's also why I essentially only use AutoIt, a programming language that almost anyone can use. I've been using it for more than 10 years now, and never intend to use anything else.
