@brianlittlejohn I've been running Mint at work on my primary desktop and laptop for about a year now. I'm also running it on my desktop at home (not sure how long). I haven't looked back since!
I find I have to keep switching back to windows... . Stupid Games, lol.
That's what dual-booting is for!
Fortunately (or unfortunately depending how you look at it) I'm not a big gamer, so I have no need for Windows at home. My wife's computer is running Win7 though (I've tried to convince her to give Mint a try, but she just won't budge!) so if I really needed it for something it's there. I also have a MacBook Pro running OS X as well. At work I do have a Windows box for those Windows only things (like XenCenter) too. I've considered just running a VM on my Mint box, but I do like that I can bounce between the two if I'm doing OS updates or whatnot.

@anthonyh I would switch my Desktop at work, but I need the RSAT tools on it to manage my windows servers.
Why not put that in a little VM. VirtualBox is perfect for this.

Sweet!

I may do this. I think I will start with my laptop and go from there.

Whole IT team is unwell, I put a sign on my door that reads:
Beware all who enter this plague ridden den: today would be a good day to submit your tickets from a distance.

I wish I could hide behind a sign like that all year long...

You can do PCI passthrough to a Windows VM.

Yeah. Sadly, that requires a Desktop and two screens, IIRC. I'm looking over the links in that video now. I'm operating from a Laptop and 1 screen.

I actually got several of my Steam Games working under Wine at one point. But then I whoopsied and lost my Linux install, lol... Just haven't gone back to try it again yet (I got Fedora 23 intsalled on the laptop at the moment)

Got Solaris 11.3 up and running on the Scale cluster.

Can't figure out why Linux mint won't boot on my Asus ROG desktop.

Did you turn off UEFI?
-
Turned UEFI off, still no go. Stalls at a black screen. On my dell I have it installed on with UEFI bios with no issue. I'm wondering if the video card could be causing an issue.

It wouldn't install on my desktop (it's old but it would just freeze at the BIOS) so I did it with a disc and it worked. I don't know the last time I burned a disk before that.
