Wow, nice long article, hope more ppl will use Linux, coz IMHO it’s easier to use than Windows, eg. in 95% no need to install drivers, all programs in Software Center,no need to search exe’s all over internet, and thats why no viruses

in my household, Linux started to grow since summer 2006 (started with Ubuntu 6.06).
nowadays I am still running Ubuntu on most computers, but i simply h.a.t.e. unity and gnome 3, so i am sticking with 10.04 LTS until everything settles down.

– router/gateway: ALIX board, fanless, system on readonly CF card (O/S: pfsense 2)
– media server: CentOS 6
– HTPC, quad core intel, XBMC on Ubuntu 10.04
– desktop: quad core AMD, Ubuntu 10.04
– dell inspiron 5100 (2.66 GHz) laptop, Debian 6 Squeeze (replaced Ubuntu 10.04 to try alternatives – very stable, i enjoy Debian)
– old HP Compaq (1.8 Ghz) laptop, Ubuntu 10.04

In our household we have two desktop computers and two notebooks, all running Ubuntu 11.10. Only one notebook still retains a Windows XP installation as a dual boot option, and that only has a single regular use: running tax declaration software once a year. There is no Linux option yet and the available online solutions are not stable enough for me (I’m talking German taxes here).

I have a chumby beside my bed. My smartphone runs Android 2.2. My router is an AVM Fritzbox, and I use a second one as a repeater. They run Linuxes. I suspect there’s also a Linux on the access point in my cellar, but I don’t really know.

At work I have equipped my computer and those of two colleagues (out of fifteen) with Linux rather than Windows. I’m the admin there and have such powers. We still have to use virtualized Windows for some programs, but most of my daily work is done with Linux, also Ubuntu 11.10 btw.

As the resident computer geek for family and friends I have converted several systems to Linux and most have remained so, though I confess a couple of systems were reverted to Windows. But all in all the need for support has decreased. And there are a handful of complete computer newbies among them, grown-ups as well as children, who use Linux just like that.

In my own household we have 2 desktops, 2 laptops and 1 netbook running Ubuntu 11.10. In addition, we have 2 Android phones, a Cruz Velocity (T301) tablet and 2 Samsung Galaxy players (4.0 & 5.0). At work, I placed a desktop running Lubuntu 11.10 in one of my offices.

[...] My journey with Linux began in 2009, one week before the release of Ubuntu 9.04. I was a long-time Windows user who knew of nothing else, but what Microsoft had to offer for my computer. Years of frustration culminated with me clicking away on Google to look for an alternative, if there was even one. Boy, did my eyes fill with wonder as I found out about Linux, in general, and more specifically Ubuntu. I read and read about it and came to find out that I could test drive it right from the cd itself. It works! It really works! I was estatic. I was free from the shackles of Microsoft Windows. Ubuntu 9.04 made it’s way onto my computer and I have not looked back since. From that time on, I have come to realize that Linux was all around me and I didn’t even know it.

I love this post! In my household we have the following Linux powered devices:

2 x Desktops (Ubuntu/Mint)
2 x Laptops (Ubuntu)
3 x Android Phones (2.3.4, 2.3.5 and 4.0.2)
1 x Nook Color (Android)
1 x Asus Transformer (Android)
1 x TV (Embedded Linux)
1 x Roku XD
1 x Netgear WNR3500 running a custom embedded Linux firmware
1 x Apache,FTP,NFS server (Debian)
1 x Network Attached Storage Server (FreeNAS)
1 x Ooma VOIP Server (Embedded Linux)

In fact, the only devices in the home I am unsure about are the printers and I wouldn’t be surprised to find that they are using some form of embedded Linux. The simple fact of the matter is that Linux is so versatile and extensible it runs on anything and everything!

Cheers
