 I also use KDE, as it's the most comfortable environment to use, in my
opinion, although it's a little heavy for my laptop so I keep considering
switching to something lighter.

For lightweight I use LXDE. It is a breeze on old hardware.

be exclusively using Linux on my laptop.  I built my desktop as a (somewhat
lightweight) gaming machine, though, so it's using Windows 7 and only
Windows 7.

My gaming desktop is running Win7 for obvious reasons. It dual-boot Linux
to play with the growing number of Linux games on steam.

BTW, the software that I could not live without is Konqueror. It is the
universal file browser. You can browse local files, smb shares, ftp, sftp,
SSH, etc.

You can copy files from a server to another regardless of the protocols.
