I went from not owning a proper computer for nearly a decade (just my phone and Xbox, literally nothing else) to buying a used Thinkpad off of eBay, upgrading some parts, and installing Linux mint onto it in under a year. Now I'm looking at building a Linux gaming PC. Y'all indoctrinated me

Linux PCs are... for lack of a better word, Swiss army knives for computing.

Need a media center? We got you.

Need server software? Bro. Who are you even asking?

Need a desktop? We got you.

Need to open that hard drive? The app is in the repository for absolutely free, just works and the hard drive opens.

Corrupted?

No prob, fam, here's a suite of recovery tools. We'll get those photos of gran-gran back no prob.

Need to burn that disk? The app is in the repository for absolutely free, just works and you're burning a disk for the family.

It just never ends. With Windows I always felt like I had to play "dodge the scam" with literally everything, even shit as mundane as ninite has that sense of "well, are they spying? Is everyone?"

One of the most prestigious purpose a computer can have!
