I'm an educator, and my Windows PC crashed during my first period class.

I had a cinnamon mint USB drive in my bag. I booted to it, and it saved the day!

I don't have anybody to tell just how much of a godsend that was, but I figured you guys might appreciate it!

Haven't seen getting off Windows referred to that way before, but I love it.

    Richard Stallman said it best:

    Now of course people who want freedom shouldn't use Windows at all, you've got to defenestrate your computer, which means either you throw Windows out of the computer, or you throw the computer out the window.
