Reasons why Linux rocks on laptops

[Montgomery Mark]

Linux is cool because of how customizable it is. I have my old laptops set up to do specific things. One may be a music player controlled by my phone, while another is a web browser.

Overall just plain cool! Looking forward to Debian 8!

Linux rocks now for me, because I'm don't have money for MacBook and Windows is awful

I install openelec on my android box, works great and faster than android.

I just installed Mint 17 KDE on a shiny new Toshiba Satellite P55t; everything worked out-of-box, even the keyboard backlighting shortcut.

I know KDE is a bit resource heavy, but this a higher-end machine and so far it rocks!

I have elementary OS installed on an old netbook, and it runs great. It's also the only thing that will run well on it, hahaha; the thing has a Celeron and 2 gigabytes of RAM.

Power management is terrible though. I get at least an extra hour of battery life when I'm booted into Windows 8, which is a shame.
