I moved over just to see what it was and one of the coolest things that instantly made me fall inlove was seeing being directed to a system file and finding out it was a text file that I could open and it had instructions explaining what the options were. It felt so inviting, like the computer was showing me how things worked and I could change it if i wanted something different.




I moved over to Linux a month ago and when I plugged in my Kyocera printer, it was insta detected and just worked. On Windows it was a hit and miss, despite newest drivers to get this thing into online mode and printing. With this new setup I stood speechless for several seconds not believing the ease of use here. I'm never going back.

This! When I got started on Linux way back then, this is what I noticed. I get to learn how things connect and how things work.

Yes, things breaking adds to this experience but when you are young, there is a lot of time for things you enjoy.
