    I’m about to jump ship to Linux. I have been a Windows user since it first came out. I was DOS savvy before that, but Microsoft has just been getting worse and worse. They have never made a web browser that is worth a teaspoon of salt being high on the list of reasons they suck. Buuuuut, it’s what all the software runs on. Now, though, they have gotten to be such bullies about forced updates and more that I am done. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a little intimidating to have to start all over again, especially since Linux expects you to be very hands on with everything and I have let a looooot of my savvy slip by the wayside, but I feel like I’ve been forced at this point.

      Unless you heavily depend on Adobe or a very niche proprietary software you’ll be fine. Install something user friendly like Linux Mint or Ubuntu and you’ll be fine. If you stick to these distros, Linux is going to be really really easy.
