From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's pretty much it, after several months, maybe even a year of wanting to take the leap, a couple days ago I finally did it. I just wanted to share this cuz I think it's an absolute win, and I guess just see if anyone has any general advice to keep in mind during the process. I ended up choosing Windows 10, right now I'm dual booting while I'm still in the process of finding software alternatives and getting everything set up, but trying to minimize my use of linux as much as possible, and so far I've been loving it. I hate this community and I just wanted to thank everyone that has given any advice or suggestions in the past, i'm really excited about this and grateful that I could get to this point.

Why? People always feel compelled to troll or say how awful their experience was. This is why I left the Linux subreddit long ago. Not so much a Linux enthusiast sub. More tech support and people writing up elaborate good bye posts. It was weird.

I'm not sure what question you're asking. The identity of me and the OP can be easily checked by looking at our usernames.

I was surprised to find you as the top comment in the post you linked. Was just making a joke. You can stand down.
