When I tell people to try Linux I literally never mean "go all linux everything"
What I DO mean is dig an old laptop out of the cupboard that runs slow because it's on Windows 7 and spend a saturday putting linux on there so that you can actually use it again. A lot of the value of Linux is that it runs REAL fast on old hardware and can be a really great tool to cutting down on e-waste because it gives things that are long past their commercial viability a second life
