Don't worry, I haven't switched. I haven't really used Linux that much, so here I talk about what I have done so far on ubuntu, how I have customised it, and installing apps.

  • I installed Ubuntu ...

    I installed Ubuntu but unfortunately hardware support isn't that great as of yet. It took me days to get sound "working" at all on my Creative X-Fi. I had to use a Beta driver that didn't give me ALSA sound support, or sound in any apps or games. I could run the test beep tone (at maximum volume) but that was it. I also was unable to setup RAID 0 because it is unsupported by GRUB and LILO bootloaders. I will try again in the future, but for now I can't use Ubuntu. I will wait for better drivers.
