I’ve been using Windows for years. I hear very positive opinions about Linux and I would really like to try Linux at home. Which distribution of Linux do you think I should get? I saw some videos of Suse and loved it.
Also, will my Windows games and applications work on Linux?

I have heard of lots of different Linux OS like Ubunto and Mandriva.

Im pretty computer savy so which one do you think fits me best?

Also, are Linux able to play Windows games or run windows applications?
