Dave, you’re being a typical annoying Linux user. Shush.

XP was a buggy mess, 2000 was incredibly crude, and Windows 7 was the pinnacle of the OS. I supported all of them, including Windows 10—though we skipped the 8.x debacle.

I think the wet dream comment was fire. Stop being so serious lol

@Gabor,

Thank you for sharing your experience!

It’s great to hear how you learned Linux on your own. Your switch from Windows to different Linux distributions shows that Linux is accessible and reliable for everyone.

Your story proves that Linux isn’t just for experts or beginners, but for anyone willing to learn.

I’m just an average computer user, but I’ve always been interested in the world, including what happens on my computer. Even when I used Windows, I was interested in how it worked and tried to understand its intricacies.

I’ve been using Linux for years now because I had enough of Microsoft’s – let’s say – problematic, dangerous, and unreliable operating system (which is itself spyware), impossible to secure, and reliant on ineffective anti-virus software for protection.

Initially, I was afraid of Linux due to the many negative reviews I had read on the Internet. However, after switching, I was surprised at how quick and easy it was to learn to use my first Linux system, Ubuntu. I was also surprised that it was more stable, reliable, and superior to Windows.

Almost everything can be done under Linux, even if not with the software you are used to. Since then, I’ve used Fedora Workstation, GhostBSD, and I’m currently running Fedora Silverblue.

I’ve been more satisfied with all of them than with Windows. Sure, Linux and BSD are not the most user-friendly operating systems, and their developers and users struggle with their human flaws just like everyone else, but they have one thing in common: they are all willing and love to learn and think.
