my younger brother has switched to Linux!
I loaded Mint 17 LTS on a Win 8 laptop that he brought me. It was his 2d or alternate unit. Now he tells me he uses it most of the time even including an older copy of Corell/Paint via the WINE emulator
in thinking about this it is interesting to note that by joining us here in open source / Linux he will escape from "Clouds & Services" and all the machinations that the industry is putting itself through these days.
It didn't take any time for him to switch, either, couple weeks maybe. I really think switching onto the Linux track is a much better feeling that getting shuttled off into "the cloud". I'm not at all sure where this cloud stuff is going, except I think the cloud plans on being the boss.
