What caused you to get into it, are you an evangel and are you obsessed?

I've used Windows since 3.1. I was installing Windows 10 on a laptop a few years ago. The changes they'd made to core functions were so frustrating, I felt like I didn't know how to use Windows anymore.

I figured I might as well try a new OS. It's not like I loved Windows.

I did a dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu. I never logged into Windows again.

I'm not obsessed or an evangel. I don't code. I don't mess around with the OS. I browse the internet and do some piracy. That's it.

I think it's great that Linux is mature enough that a dumb user like me can easily switch over from Windows.
