Fuck Micro$oft

It's time to switch to Linux! Because it's free as in freedom.

I have actually switched once before, back in 2009-2010 I daily drove Ubuntu, but came back to Windows because of gaming.

At my last job I was a helpdesk technician, 365 admin, VIP technician and their only Linux sysadmin.

Might want to give it another shot these days. Gaming has become exponentially better since then with Steam's Proton software. Still not perfect, but being able to do 90-95% of them ain't bad. The last technical hurdle is games with kernel-level anti-cheat.

Oh yeah, if I didn't have to do computer support at work and only dealt with the backend I would absolutely try it!
