I wish I had switched to a daily linux user earlier, it is a very different mentality: be responsible and build/seek solutions in a open culture.

The compatibility could be an issue in the start - you have to walk out of your comfort zone. But if you want to get less FUD, less consumerism. this is the ideal place, and the situation is very different because most of the things can be done on the web, from video consumption, gaming to development.
