Those that know me well know I’ve been a long term Linux user and - sometimes annoying - advocate for it.
Those that know me even better know that I’ve rather recently - mid-year - finally managed to make my wife switch to it!
This is great because it gave me a fresh look on what the switching process is like, for a new user, in 2023/2024.
Quick writeup on the experience:

  • Choose a secure distro
  • Choose a distro
  • Get ready for new workflows - or not, that’s the beauty of Linux!
  • Let go of your old apps - and embrace freedom!
  • If you like to learn, you’re in for a treat. Linux gives you full transparency on what’s going on in your system, which means you’ll become a much more advanced user.
