    Users of Microsoft accepted more and more. And slowly we are all in this situation (if you would still use Windows). Similar to the The Boiling Frog Syndrome. Get out now, while you still can. Try to search for alternatives. You have been warned.

      I went cold turkey to Linux this past December. Best choice I’ve ever made. I am still stuck on Windows for work and I assist friends and family with their stuff, but otherwise I’m happily out of the system.

        Great nice to hear! Which distro did you choice (No wrong answers)? Do you still need help or have questions or issues?

          I jumped right in the deep end with Arch. I’ve been a sys admin for about a decade and in IT for another 5 years, so I’m good with computers, but more importantly, I’m good at searching for and finding solutions to my problems. It was a bit rocky for the first setup, but been mostly smooth sailing since Jan or Feb. I reformatted to change to btrfs and snapper after the first month or two.

          I still don’t know a lot about how Linux works or where any of the config files are, but I’m learning. I’m all on the bandwagon.

            Luckily for you Arch has the best wiki pages out there for documentation purposes. If you have any questions regarding Linux or you want to know something, just ask.
