what caused you to get into Linux?

I dont know if this is still the case, but Windows used be very bad with downloads through Steam. They would often drop to zero throughput. Also Alt-tabbing in an out games without the system crashing also seemed to work better on linux. So for me gaming was actually better on linux.

I don't think I've turned into an evangel yet. However when I've passed on a computer I'd just put a fresh install of fedora on it.
