Five steps to improve your Linux migration experience
You've dabbled in the Linux waters, liked what you've seen and want to give Linux a sincere shot on your desktop systems. Here are some fundamental steps you can take that will greatly improve your Linux experience and increase your chances of actually sticking with Linux as a long-term solution.
#5 - Don't fail before you begin. Make your expectations reasonable.
I've seen it time and time again. So many new Linux users expect their computing experience to be exactly like their Windows experience and get frustrated when it's not the case. The first thing to keep in mind is: Linux is different! There are different commands, different interfaces, different security models... Don't think you're going to immediately be as productive on your new Linux machine. Plan some time for yourself to learn shell commands and your way around whichever graphical user interface your Linux distribution uses.
#4 - Get yourself a good Linux book and actually read it!
