This is interesting! I spent almost a whole school year (I'm a professor) trying to use Linux as my main operating system, tried Arch, Ubuntu, Mint. Ultimately the limiting factor was projectors. Every classroom I teach in seems to have a different brand of projector and I just couldn't get my laptop to work well with any of them. Windows does whatever magic is needed so that it always "just works" with a projector, therefore, I went back. I have been trying to raise money for a Mac because I figured it's the best compromise, but this could change it.
