Now is the time to spread your wings and try linux as a replacement for windows!

I'm a Linux user since it was distributed in diskette images.

I use both Windows and Linux, mainly Linux, but I dual boot or use a VM sometimes because I need to use some programs which are not practical or just don't work with wine.

I don't see Linux as an alternative, I see Linux as different tool.

I mainly use cruciform (pozidrive if possible) screws and screwdrivers, but sometimes I have use flat.

No drama, no religious zealotery.
