I did once, and then it always crashed on the login screen, couldn't even enter my password to get in.
Linux is probably great after you spent two years learning its entire architecture and how to fix everything in the bash or whatever.
If you just want to click colourful buttons and have a life outside your computer, you can easily get into big trouble.

Tried to set up an Ubuntu machine for my mom, so she could stream some shows every day for ~1 hour. Ran into some problems that I had to manually fix after every restart (WiFi drivers and connection). When I mentioned it to some Linux nerds, they said my fault was to restart a Linux PC...
Yeah, because for my mom to watch 45 minutes of video a day, we're never going to shut the computer down?!?

I want to like Linux, but it just won't let me.

I tried to run some Linux in virtual machines (tried different distros), but couldn't get any free remote control software to work that would let me access them properly from Windows...

Sorry, I just have to cry every time the topic comes up...
