I am finally free!

A week ago I made a post about my excitement for switching to Linux. I was unable to do it that day, but I have finally done it today, after a coup…

Maybe someday you will become truly free when you install some kind of BSD. 😉

Then California will force age verification on you.

Welcome! You will certainly not regret it. I’ve been with Linux for over 20 years and only use Windows on my company laptop. I can only say that Windows gets worse on each release.

Anyhow. Don’t be afraid of the CLI / console. Seems complicated when starting but will make the whole experience so much better over time.

Enjoy!

I agree that Windows is trash, especially using Linux. It’s just so much simpler and it works better and it’s not so bloated!

@sundaylab @unknowablenight On most modern Linux distros, using the command line is not required.

Welcome!!! I’ve been using Linux for around a s cade, full time for the last two. I won’t go back to macos (I ditched windows a long time ago). Macos is also just continuously getting worse and worse.

Also, I tried a tiling window manager about a year ago, and have never looked back. Not saying you should, they’re not for everyone. They are definitely for me. For years, one of my biggest frustrations with macos was window management. I didn’t know it back then, but what I wanted was a tiling window manager.
