I don't currently have a "primary desktop", but yeah I run Linux on basically all of my computers. Mostly Ubuntu or Debian - Ubuntu on this computer.

There are a lot of reasons, but high among them are the ability to dive into the code when I'm curious about what's going on under the hood, a solid tiling window manager well integrated with my shell, and habits and familiarity built up over almost two decades now of using primarily Linux.

There's doubtless things other OSes could do to be more my speed; honestly the Windows 8 UI, while ugly, fit my work flow slightly better than previous incarnations. No one targeting "mainstream" seems to want me, though - even the Linux distros are barely usable in the default installs.
