Did the drones have too much BSOD's? Linux will be the next Skynet for sure!

Don't hold your breath, it will never come - mainly due to #3, #4 and #7 of [1].

Ain't gonna happen, since all the major players got iSteve envy and are trying to "design" tablet UIs instead (and failing miserably at that too).

Me somehow too (even though it seems not to be very possible). The recent trends OSX and Windows take are kinda scary. Windows 8 isn't anymore what I call a desktop platform and OSX became restricted and buggy since OSX 10.7 Lion (called the Windows Vista of OSX versions). Both go more and more into tablet-OS-design but I still don't see (and many others too) what should be the advantage of this. Only the companies itself have some good advantages and reasons to do that.

I hear barely any positive comments or talks about the Windows 8 enhancements, but a lacking competition makes companies force stuff on end-users they don't really want.

Go to [1], pick a distribution of your choice* and install it to your HDD.
Prior to that you might want to test some candidates that you think are promising in a virtual machine or as a live system.

*) No, I won't tell you which one is best, because there is no such thing like a "best" linux distro since that highly depends on your preferences.
