A lot of reasons convinced me to switch from Windows to Mint a year or so ago but what really sealed the deal is that Linux can handle large resolution screens (Displayport), going to sleep and waking up with all icons and screens still in the same place...
I still have my #2 Note7. Hasn't burst into flames despite rough treatment. Doesn't get remotely warm. Keeping it till at least the next Note from Samsung. Ready for the flames (pun intended)
