The fact that you get a full OS for free, customizable and no crappy forced in features that you don’t want is amazing.
I can stress enough that my experience with Linux has been resoundingly positive, it’s almost like that finnish bill gates guy made a golden goose of an OS.
Ever since I upgraded my WiFi to pcie and moved to Fedora, it has been nothing but smooth sailing.
• AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike
•Customize Fedora to my liking, made it more like windows with the extensions provided
• What’s this? A software app store? Swell! I no longer need to download stuff off from dodgy sites or numbingly installing everything manually!
• The mascot of Linux? 10/10 and penguins are one of my 2nd favourite animals
How was your experience with this Unix-like wonder? In a home user manner and/or a business use manner?
Let me know!
I was entering my teens in the early 2000’s. My memory is terrible but my family got a pentium 3 desktop PC and I remember I had some versions of SuSE, Ubuntu and Mandrake (or was it Mandriva by then) on that PC at one time or another. My family never knew how to use it because it was different all the time. Heck I didn’t know how to use it.
When I built my first PC, a pentium 4, I dual booted windows and some flavour of Linux for a time, but I got into PC gaming so I only casually checked out new releases of Ubuntu over the years. Once Proton arrived though it was finally time to make the switch.
I’m not a developer, I made a pong clone with python once because I wanted to learn for the sake of it, but I support a few projects financially that I enjoy, I try to submit bug reports best I can. For the most part the community is great, and yes I use Arch btw.
