Low Quality Facts Sep 23, 2025

Sitting at my desk chugging Tylenol until I know how to use Linux.

The truth is that Linux isn't really any harder than Windows. It's just that when you run into a problem with Windows you don't know how to handle, you probably know an expert who can help you out. Most of us don't know someone with that level of Linux expertise, so we're stuck solving the hard problems ourselves. If we're lucky enough to have a Linux expert on call, it can be really nice.

Most of the popular Linux distros have very active discussion forum, wiki etc., so you will find help, guides and other resources on-line. I highly recommend trying Linux!

The forums are nice, though I miss the nicely formatted HOWTOs of yesteryear. I still think there's a difference between being able to find a solution with some digging online and being able to get help from a friend or relative. There's also a huge benefit to being able to get commercial support, which is much easier to find for Windows.
