I see more discussion on installing, compiling, and choosing a non-Windows operating system more than actual examples of using the operating system.  What do you actually do with the operating system?  What do you spend the majority of your time on the operating system doing besides futzing around with the operating system itself (installing drivers, tweaking settings, etc)?

You don't hear about that because Unix people spend the whole day compiling shit. When they're done setting an acceptable desktop and finish configuring it, a new cool distro is out and they start over.

That's bullshit; Windows is just as capable and if individual applications run faster on Windows or Linux it's usually down to the applications. BTW, honestly I like how Windows behaves under heavy load better than Linux, and that's just using the default NT quanta settings, didn't even have to tweak it. It's far more responsive and prioritizes things better IMO.
