Just Linux, going on ten years now.

Interesting that you call it "inconvienent". Perhaps with the default
window managers (KDE 3/4 and Gnome 2/3 all seem hard to navigate by
keyboard, while Win7 is excellent IMHO). And being nearly all Linux
software is uselessly named, I would imagine finding programs to be
a pain at first...only at first though.

But having find/grep/sed/cat/awk/gcc/git/vi/ssh/sftp/mutt all at my
fingertips more than makes up for that. Plus all my music is in FLAC
or OGG format.
