I’m a new Linux convert. And I love it! But you’re right. Also, in the past, when I tried to convert (when it was more difficult), the Linux communities then were um, less than helpful.
I remember back then not being super comfortable with the terminal, and they were like “Fuck off and come back when you know how to program simple shit, you fuckin’ newb.”
So I put it off for a long time. Now I love going into the terminal and learning new things. And it doesn’t seem like linux communities are as elitist as they used to be. But yeah, back in the day, I had such a bad experience with them, I actively boycotted Linux stuff. I was just a young office professional and needed my computer to work without a lot of tweaking.
I love it all now though! And I have plenty of time to tweak because I don’t work. Even tho, to be honest, it’s all pretty easy to install these days.
