XFCE is a pain-free desktop environment, so Xubuntu is my system of choice for personal use.

But in the office I just can't unilaterally decide to ditch Windows. And while I do have access to an admin account to fix some annoyances, it's not like I can run a custom OS so far removed from the regular user accounts that I wouldn't be able to replicate their issues.
