I have Windows on two of my laptops, but I don't use it. I mainly run Ubuntu (16.04), and I have two dual-boot Macs so I run OS X on them when I need to.

Red face Desktop OS
1. Windows 10 Pro
2. Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
3. Mint 17.3
4. LXLE 14.04.4
5. Lubuntu 15.04

I would switch to Linux but I have not found a version that multitask well when using mixed browsers and switching pages. Mint seems to do it best of all.

My minimum system memory is 8 GB with swap set to at least 8 GB to match the minimum memory.

I use Open Office in Windows and Libreoffice in Linux.....

I have found ClamTk very very helpful when removing viruses from both Windows and Linux.....
