@mcc Try putting up with the Windows experience, as someone accustomed to a sane but quirky environment like a unix/linux distro. You prefer Windows, keep it.
Also, define a normal person. I see people posting Jiggle Physics videos here just fine from a linux desktop.
@mcc I admit Ubuntu linux did not work on my Surface Pro very well, the proprietary touchscreen was not supported easily. Still it was better than running Windows on such nice hardware.
