I first started running Linux in the early 2000s. I wasn’t solely using Linux, but it was very much a situation where I used it for what it was best at and used Windows for where I needed Windows. Mostly that was for games, but it was early in my IT career and Windows was a skill I needed to build, so I did a lot of dual booting. It really propelled my understanding of computers running and breaking multiple OSes.

I fully made the switch a couple of years ago when I realized I hadn’t booted my Windows install in six months. Linux has come a long way, and has also been helped by so many things being browser-based these days.

Completely jettison all of Star Trek Discovery and the Section 31 movie.

What finally pushed me over the edge was when I was trying to fix something in Windows and it said I couldn’t access that part of the OS. Bitch, you work for me, not the other way around. I’ve flopped back and forth between Linux and Windows for decades and just decided that anything I couldn’t do in Linux I just wouldn’t do. So far, I haven’t really encountered anything. With how much of my average computing is done in a browser these days, Firefox doesn’t really care which OS it’s running on.
