Looks like I picked the right year to switch to Linux on my primary pc.
Switching to Free Software is kind of like planting a tree: the best time was years ago (because you'd be over the learning curve). The second-best time is now.
That said, it's getting so much better every year. It's already ahead of Windows in user-friendlyness IMO, but every year I'm amazed by how much cooler it gets.
The only thing I can say is that on Linux, you get excited by the thought of updating your system. It's like a Christmas feeling instead of a Monday one.
Agree. And as someone who planted that tree 25 years ago, the shade sure is nice year after year.
Same here.
I'm using Arch btw
I made the jump last year. There will be ups and downs but I don't plan on using another OS on my computers ever.
