Yes please do write a book on it.
I do have a slightly strange angst towards Windows - I feel somewhat cheated of my time. I used to reinstall Windows every 6 months just to stop it slowing down, and unlike other OSs where I can script the reinstall/updates, it took a whole day.
To think that all that time I could have been using Ubuntu (my primary work isn't in IT, and I still use Ubuntu) - Stockholm syndrome is probably the right term, or maybe being in an abusive relationship that was steadily getting worse.
I'm probably lying if I said I haven't had a linux problem for 4 years. But nothing major actually springs to mind...
The hilarious thing is the occasional thing I get which is "what do you mean it only too ten minutes?" because people are trained to think that certain things take at least a day and then subconsciously avoid doing them because they don't want to have to explain where that time is going.
I'm going to write a book on this one day.
As for Linux issues, the ONLY issue I've had this year so far is duplicity consuming too much RAM and crashing on a filesystem with tens of thousands of inodes used. This was a relatively easy fix as well. A two line python change. I haven't submitted it yet as a patch because they patched it upstream already when someone else fixed it. Just waiting for it to trickle down to the vendor's repos.
