No, you're not.

I switched to Linux as my desktop OS in 2002 and haven't looked back. Back it the day it was pretty hairy but it was still such a breath a fresh air that I was willing to put up with it. These days, it's pretty much plain sailing! :-) Running Debian Sid with Awesome window manager, so I can be quietly amused when I hear people bitching about the latest versions of Gnome and Ubuntu. :-)

I do have to run a few windows-only apps in the office - Outlook and Lync being the main ones, but for that I just run a Windows VM - zero problems!

We name our lab servers after characters from the Muppets. There is an excellent Muppet Wiki which provides more names than we could ever need!

Yawn...

I think Debian Stable should be safe from this, because the security updates all come from security.debian.org (which is centralised AFAIK).

I can see how this would be a problem for other versions though.
