Four weeks with Ubuntu Linux on the desktop. Part 2: Down the rabbit hole.
If you’ve never installed a modern Linux distribution and you’re worried about how difficult it will be because you’ve heard awful stories about the process, let me assure you that it is as easy as pie. Easier, probably, now that I think about trying to actually make a pie.
I’m an enthusiast. A hobbyist. I am a very demanding. I’ve been using computers since I was about ten years old. As a freelance developer, my daily bread is won through the use of a computer. I sometimes spend sixteen hours a day at the keyboard. A good chunk of that is work but a lot is also hobby-related and recreational.
I’ve found that the more demanding you are of your computer, the harder it might be to switch. Interestingly, this shows that the notion that Linux is only for highly technical computer geeks is a myth. The opposite is more likely to be true.
