I am a proud Ubuntu user. I switched over when the release of Windows 7 rendered my computer obsolete. I have been using Ubuntu ever since. I used Windows 7 on my new computer for several weeks before Windows Update replaced the ATI graphics drivers, causing my computer not be able to boot anymore. Frustrated, I have switched back to Ubuntu. I also, somewhat hypocritically, am a proud owner of a Microsoft Zune HD.

I like to play with compiz to make my computer look pretty, currently having wobbly windows and window border transparency. I am working on using the fire plugin to make my windows go up in flames when closed. I saw this in a YouTube video and have been jealous ever since. Transparent menus are another great addition. I have experimented with VB6 (both Mono and Microsoft) and have been recently been experimenting with blender, which is complicated yet fun.
