- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

Better late than never is my family motto
I have been using Linux since almost 30 years. It took me almost a week to get X running, since it had to reboot to windows everytime I wanted to look something up or get help. Now I buy games on steam without checking if they run, because... they just do. :)
Actually I don't need more people using Linux, I am happy with how it is now - no need to attract the attention of the malware industry. π
I don't think them and you will run the same Linux, but that's ok. Choice is good and kind of the point. :-)
I want everyone to have the benefit of Linux. It's not just about me. We'd then get those missing applications and drivers. And if anyone wanted to get away from the mainstream, there are distros just for that.
4 full days??
Me after having control of system updates again when I switched to Linux.
And rightfully so!
Not going to lie, as a recent convert, this is not very off the mark. π ππ§
Haha same! I'm around 9 months in now tho so it's evened out. Now I just silently judge haha
How me, still a Windows user then looked at fellow Windows users because i had planned installing Linux after 2 months.
Particularly Arch users
And rightfully so. They might not know much about Linux itself BUT they did dare try and for that they deserve recognition.
To test a very stubborn program I had to install windows in a VM and use it for 20 minutes yesterday. It felt like I was swimming in a swamp located at the exit pipes of a factory that exclusively produce shit and deadly biohazard material.
All hail King Torvalds! πΊ
