That is what i have experienced. The startup time is better than when I had XP. Standard usage of the system is very smooth and so far I have not experienced anything to complain about. As for the gaming, I have another computer that I use for that purpose and that is a Windows XP system. But there is a project called Wine(http://winehq.org/) which is an open source implementation of the Windows API. I haven't had time to test it yet, but I will. All the console stuff, the command prompt and alle the commands that one might think of when considering linux, I have not used a single one so far :) Everything is very user friendly.

This looks kinda nice though, and not very complicated. How well does it perform compared to Windows XP? Slower or faster? The main reasons for me not to try it would be that I can't be asked to install a new OS right now and also, most of the games I play are only made for windows, but I don't play a lot of games at the moment anyway.
