i'd happily use Linux, as a matter of fact i did for years. but unfortunately with the newer laptops with Nvidia Optimus technology (combined chipset and dedicated video card) that does not work as good (some not at all). that's why i came back to Windows (8.1 in my case)
if you change from Windows XP or Windows 7, you might as well go for Linux instead of Windows 8. its really that much different.
of course you can always use a virtual machine, thats exactly what i do, it also helps keeping your machine clean*er* (i did the same while running linux also)
