Linux
I wouldn’t say changing to Linux changed my life so much as it preserved the life I wanted. The change was just some (thankfully) brief adjustments to get comfortable with it. Way easier than I thought it was going to be and so much of that is thanks to the gurus online leaving answers and blogs for us folks in the transition period.
The point was that I didn’t want my life changed by windows becoming worse and worse anymore. In a disposable world closing us off from each other with too much change too fast going on right now because of the heavy handed over implementation of AI hard yanking control away from user: Linux gave me an option to retain the permanence, connection and control I wanted from my experience.
Apparently windows AI update broke recently . I don’t even remember the last time I loaded windows. I think it’s been a few months. Now I don’t even want to look back. Just relieved that if something like that happened on a Linux distro, rollbacks are easier to accomplish on the user side. Already theorized, practiced and prepped my parachute for something like that. Ok maybe you’re right. It has changed me. I don’t think I would have thought and behaved like this had I stayed on windows.
