Arch is cool but I don't like the rolling releases, I've decided for me that Debian is the best solution for me, not always up to date but rock solid.
I'm I minimalism guy in terms of the visuals on my PC since I use XFCE4 and nothing fance...
Nowadays it feels a bit strange to use Windows and guess what, these freaking updates when you shutdown the computer, drives me nuts...
But as said you need at least one machine with Windows because you can be certain that something is not supported on Linux but it is getting better with every month...
