Switching has been really interesting for me. Before I moved I’d think “Man I don’t want to do all the troubleshooting and learning that is going to come with it”

But what happened is it reminded me that I enjoy learning and troubleshooting. I think the difference is the troubleshooting I have to do in Windows is typically trying to unfuck some bullshit Microsoft is doing that I don’t like. I’m usually mad on principle, and when I do unfuck whatever it is I resent that I had to do it in the first place.

In Linux it’s “I wonder if I can do this? I can! But does that mean? It does!” It has completely reinvigorated my love for computers.

Also, for whatever reason when I thought about switching I only ever thought about the troubleshooting. In my head it was like I would be switching to an OS that only exists to be worked on. I forgot that like once you set it up the first time you’re kinda done and it’s just like any other computer. You can futz and customize endlessly if you want to, or you can just stop.

I’m never going back
