I am finally free! (piefed.social)

A week ago I made a post about my excitement for switching to Linux. I was unable to do it that day, but I have finally done it today, after a couple complications (I was getting my tech friend to help me). I was scared, but I had no issue with connecting wifi or bluetooth and am having fun setting everything up! I figured out how to do some things with files quite quickly and didn't even have to look things up. It's so fun to figure these out! I am so incredibly happy to have switched!

Welcome! You will certainly not regret it. I've been with Linux for over 20 years and only use Windows on my company laptop. I can only say that Windows gets worse on each release.

Anyhow. Don't be afraid of the CLI / console. Seems complicated when starting but will make the whole experience so much better over time.

Enjoy!

I agree that Windows is trash, especially using Linux. It's just so much simpler and it works better and it's not so bloated!
