Ubuntu 18.04

I migrated from Windows to Ubuntu 16.04 in December 2016. It was a very great idea at a time, and I enjoyed using Ubuntu immensely. The main joy being that I came to loathe Windows and its update system, and Linux allow me great freedom to install and play with a lot of libraries and softwares easily. (For the fact that almost everything on Linux can be compile using autotools or CMake, but on Windows some may requires MSVC, Cygwin, mingw32, etc, etc). Not to mention that I don’t need to compile by myself a lot of libraries as I could just apt install ****-dev.

Of course, being my first time on Linux machine, I would broke something very quickly.

Transition to Linux

I have always been using Windows as my main OS since I begin using computer. I have had Windows 95/2000/Me/XP/2003/Vista/8.110 on my main computers. If we talk strictly about my personal laptop, than it was XP (2.5yrs), Vista (2.5yrs), 7 (2yrs), 8.1 (2yrs), 10 (6mo). I have use most recent major version of Windows. I never use anything prior to first major upgrade though, so I may have less problem with Windows than people who upgrade immediately. The Windows I used are all OEM tied into the laptop I bought.

But last December, I finally bailed to Ubuntu. It has been three months, and I couldn’t be happier.
