I'm the same way. I've been using Linux for ~15 years, and I generally prefer open source when deciding between options. I'll make exceptions (e.g. I love Steam because of good Linux support), but most of my software is open (Blender, Firefox, etc).

I admit to a dual boot just so I can easily use windows for games. But for animation and literally everything outside of gaming on a computer, I use. Linux. Just makes more sense. Is blender specifically for 3D modeling or does it have animation capabilities as well? I've seen people make amazing things with it, but I like tinkering with 2D animation so I haven't touched blender yet.

Yeah, Blender can do animation too, they even made a short film all within Blender (Big Buck Bunny).

I don't know if it can do 2D animation though.
