I've been on the Linux journey for about 3 years now and loving all of it. The unix philosophy of small, composable programs just makes sense. Linux/Unix is a system where programmers are the target demographic. No more feeling like a second class citizen in Windows land :)
- herbst 10y agoNot only programmers! My grandmum likes how easy it is to make everything huge and high contrast when needed. My mum is a fan of unity, because everything is just reachable even with limited space. She recently even started to use a tiling plugin. My little sister spends hours customizing her desktop and tried pretty much any window manager. My dad uses linux and wine to play windows games that do not properly run with windows 7 and upwards. I would classify them all as at best average computer users, but there was not much hand holding involved in the transition at all. And way less work for me now! (Like my mum did open Locky (the crypto trojan) twice!!)
