Hello!
I'm always open to trying new things, but everything I have here either uses LL or has used it at some point. Not many would disagree that any one OS is not ideal for each and every individual's needs.
Like rokytnji, I believe there are times when some other distro would do better on extremely hardware-challenged platforms. I, too, may take a look at - or even install - MX-15 or AntiX to meet the needs of such hardware.
Like rokytnji, I also have situations where I HAVE to use Windows. He tunes scoots with it, and I tune radios with it. For example, CHIRP, a program to set up programmable radios, is available for Linux, but doesn't support the newer Wouxun radios I own. One day, I may try to run them through WINE, but haven't had time lately, and don't know if the USB-to-serial drivers will work under WINE.
Many others here also play a role in developing other distros besides LL, but that doesn't necessarily mean they like LL any less. If you HAVE knowledge, SHARE IT - no matter where you are.
One thing people tend to overlook in a distro is its user community, but that is where LL excels above all the others I've seen so far. I believe them to speak volumes about the distro they represent. After all, they're who you turn to when you need help. Whenever I've had a problem here, by the next day, I have always received a response - sometimes, even several. Keep up the good work, folks!

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
