Same here. A friend switched me to Debian in 2002 and I haven't looked back since. These days interacting with Windows (even 7 which is similar to what I remember) feels unpleasant.

I use a tiling window manager and again I would never want to go back.

My job does not require me to modify other people's Office documents and for reading them LibreOffice is acceptable. My own documents I usually write in AsciiDoc and share them as a PDF. For something that I really care about I will break out TexStudio and the result will blow Word out of the water.

Most of my time is spent in either Firefox, vim, or a terminal for which Linux is also ideal.

Gimp + Inkscape cover all of my occasional photo / diagram needs.

For video there really is nothing better than mpv (mplayer successor) and ffmpeg.

I do have a Windows 7 VM that I use for Outlook and Lync at the office and it works fine, but it's just another Linux app. ;-)

What tiling window manager do you use? I've been using Awesome but it completely messes up when dragging Chrome tabs on your non-primary monitor. It is very frustrating.

Or maybe the bug is in Chrome and has nothing to do with tabs and Awesome...

I also use Awesome WM, which is ... awesome. :-)

I think I see what you mean - is it the crazy flickering when you drag the newly created window around? I was able to get rid of that if I set the parent Chromium window status to "floating" (Mod+Ctrl+Space in Debian default config).

Sadly not that. What I mean is when Chrome is on my non-primary monitor the second you begin to drag a tag it pops out the window, goes to the primary monitor and refuses to be merged back into any Chrome window not on a primary monitor. It's really strange and quite obnoxious.
