My Linux Journey

Back around 2015, I decided to switch off Windows. I was in a Simulation & Animation class and we had been exposed to a bunch of free & open-source software like Blender and GIMP . And as I kept looking into these programs, I kept seeing references to Linux, and eventually decided to install it on my laptop. I didn’t have any particularly deep reasons for switching. Linux gives a lot of advantages, from playing nice with older hardware to giving you complete freedom from Windows Updates.
