Thank you. As someone who is very interested in Linux, and someone who has proselytized my tech choices in the past (“Everyone should use Signal”), one of my big fears about switching to Linux is that I’ll never shut up about it, and I’ll bore my friends.

Thank you for showing me that there is another way

Not to alarm you, but you may have a period of 5-10 years where you really can’t shut up about it… it’ll pass, though, honest :)

  I switched to full-time, permanent Linux use in 2004. I didn’t even have a one-year period where I felt the need to proselytize it like a vegan.

    I find that mighty impressive! I’d blame the folly of youth for myself, but I assume you were also quite young all the way back then. It’s entirely possible that I was/am simply an idiot 🤔

    2004? Nah. I was nearly 40.

it's harder to do than you think. you can tell people about signal because everyone understands messaging. and telling them to use signal is/was good advice!

Trust me you will never even think to get into the differences between wayland and x11. hate systemd? excited about btrfs? it is literally impossible to discuss any of it without shared context.
