Getting back into Linux

So it has been a while since I ran Linux. Mostly because I had spent such an amount of money into my home computer, and felt it was a shame that I was not using it to full effect. So I started playing games using Crossover Office, but I constantly felt the games were not as good as they could be. I was dealing with bugs not allowing me to configure better graphics, random freezes etc. In the end, I concluded that Wine or Crossover is not the future, it is much better to live with Windows and use it for what you need.

But recently I was watching a video on Youtube and saw an ad for Intel 2 in 1. I was intrigued, and did some more Googling and ended up buying a Dell XPS 12, on a whim.
