So Long Windows
It has been a long, meandering, and frustrating experience with Microsoft. The original days of Windows back in the earliest of the 90s was like a whole new world being opened. No longer were we forced to run DOS and we got the initial GUIs. Now 30 years later Microsoft has decided to remove support for the last good operating system they made, Win7. So in my consternation I have returned to an old friend, LINUX.
Off an on over the years I have had various distros that I have run of LINUX including Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Qubes, and Tails. I am now going to try out
The reason I never switched was the availability of programs and my unfounded fear that I would miss various parts of working in Windows. Well the availability aspect is no more since there are a number of VMs and work arounds for running windows programs within Linux. My fear of missing Windows is just me being afraid of change.
WELL NO MORE!
Today I am making the switch. I have a 1Tb hard drive loaded with the iso and all I will have to do is swap my hard drives. My external hard drive hub means that I will be able to still access all of my files on my Windows drive. I am looking forward to this change and am anxious to be rid of Windows and Microsoft.
Here's hoping everything goes smoothly and with any luck I will be back up and online in a matter of an hour or 2.

Frankly, I’ve been using UBUNTU since more than 10 years ago and I am quite satisfied with it. You have everything you need without so much effort now, and sometimes better than what Microsoft compatible software offer.
Good change.
