My trajectory was ~2000-2011 as a heavy Linux-on-the-desktop user (and Windows, for gaming), but quickly converted to Mac when was issued one at work after that, and that's where I've stayed ever since. I didn't even realize how much time I was wasting and how used I'd gotten to working around shitty, broken stuff, mostly by just avoiding doing things. Once I saw what life was like on the other side, it was a no-brainer to switch.
I try Linux again every couple years, and have every time been quickly reminded why I stopped using it (on the desktop, anyway).
- trelane 5y agoDo you put Linux on Windows computers? If so, did you also put Mac on them?
- c22 5y agoLinux was definitely fickle in the early 2000s. It got a lot better over the last ten years. Meanwhile, whenever I have to use Apple products I feel like they've gone backwards in some regards. I used to dual boot windows for games. But now I can play games on Linux too.
