The point at which I got rather serious about using Linux (Ubuntu) was
a few years ago, when my volume of email outgrew Pegasus and my main
desktop got thoroughly infected by JavaScript-ed emails that Thunderbird
couldn't disable.  It seemed my most practical alternative was to go on
using Thunderbird, but in a non-Windows environment so most infectious
scripts wouldn't find targets they recognized.

  (I did sarch, more than once, for something like the Firefox
"NoScript" plug-in for Thunderird.  I found half a dozen public posts by
people who said they were trying to create one, but no sign that any had
yet offered even a beta version....)

Thank you to all that replied, and for the link from Felix. To answer
Felix's question, my reason for considering Linux is that Windows seems
to
be going in a direction that is not consistent with my needs. I don't
need a
consistent interface between my cellphone and desktop.
