Obiwancanblowmeee<p>1 year of linux 🖥️ <br>I’m 37 and have been using Linux for a year now after wasting the rest on Windows. I started reflecting on older Windows versions and how it used to be and realized I hate it. I also hate coding and thought I needed some background knowledge to start Linux. Turns out, I was wrong! I've learned more in this year than in all my years with Windows. Just wanted to share my experience!🖥️ <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinuxLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxLove</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TechJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechJourney</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WindowsToLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsToLinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Learning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TechLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechLife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinuxCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxCommunity</span></a></p>
