I still use XP. Will probably use it until April 2014. Of course, I know how to use everything else, just that I haven't switched to them full time yet.

Window XP, the best window version ever. Not going to upgrade for life unless my cat force me to.

They stop supporting it by April 2014, so ... depends on your internet security or firewall or router, but don't connect the machine directly to the net. We'll be victims of zero day malware. |

Switched over to Ubuntu a month ago.
Works good although some drivers are unavailable and that is really irritating.
Everything works though but my mouse doesn't work like it should.

If it were Linux, someone would have forked Windows at XP and kept maintaining it. Too bad it's closed source so you have to put up with all that bullshit  |

I dont bellieve anything will happens after they stop supporting it in April 2014. After all, it had 15 years of security patches applied, what could go wrong ?  It will remain nice lightweight OS even april 2014 |

I've decided to switch over to Linux next time I buy/build my next comp or next time I format.
My reasons are to support open source, but primarily for privacy/security. I'm not a programmer, but I'm reasonable knowledgeable, and have become a privacy nut the past year or two. I was thinking of Quebes OS for obvious reasons, but then I was thinking there might be more options on more mainstream/compatible distros. (I got the impression that many distros are different enough that software often is not compatible.)
Privacy and security and network and access/permission control is my number one priority, followed by stability. And though not a programmer, I consider myself really good with computers and am confident in my ability to google and fix my own problems-- that being said, I do want something that is kind of intuitive for people who think like programmers. I like things that "just work" and are intuitive to troubleshoot when they don't.
What Linux distro would you guys recommend? Right now, I'm thinking of: Quebes, Ubuntu, Elementary, Mint, Manjaro, or just stock Arch that I spend a lot of time on at the beginning.

I use Mac OS X for my laptop. Ubuntu on VPS servers I currently deploy, and Gentoo on older servers.
