I personally bought in July a laptop with the explicit purpose of installing Linux Mint on it (after trying said distro in a VM for a while), as I figured dual-booting would be too complicated. In the first couple of months, I had some serious problems with the wifi, as it dropped on and off (a part in this also seemed to play its Broadcom wifi card), but since a month or so ago, the wifi has been much smoother -no idea what happened, maybe an update fixed some issues.
I like LM Mate very much, and the main reason I haven't fully switched is basically because of MS Office, since some uni professors of mine want papers in .doc format (most want print and/or pdf though, which is fine), but a document edited in LibreOffice doesn't always show up correctly in MSO (e.g.footnotes might be all over the place) -while the inverse shows up fine- ,which convinced me that LO is compatible with MSO, but MSO is not compatible with LO, and thus the fault lies with MS. But since MSO is what everybody uses, people tend to assume it's LO's fault, and MS isn't ofc going to fix its compatibility with LO, as it's to its interests to keep people shackled to its own office suite. I've read WPS Office fares better in having its documents show up fine in MSO (correct me if I'm wrong), but its Linux version is still in alpha, so...
Anyways, my point is that games aren't such a stopgap factor for me from switching, as many are cross-platform and others can be played with dosbox et al., and I also don't play AAA games, so I don't care if these are ever released for linux or not.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway adamhm (and the previous ones ofc, which I watched with much interest, even if I didn't enter since I hadn't really used Linux as much as I should) and +1!
