Blogs are finally dead, right?

4GB ram / 128GB SSD / Integrated AMD Graphics / 2 core CPU AMD

I want to start by saying that windows is now like an annoying liability to me. I never want to use windows ever again and I dread the day that I have to use some damned software that simply cannot run on Linux for whatever reason. Windows is THAT bad. My biggest problem with windows is bloat and inefficiency.

I have not suffered at all in the software department. Every single M$ specific program has a linux counterpart, and they are usually twice as capable as their Micro$oft counterpart. I'm using a Debian distribution so there's been a tailor made installer waiting for me 90% of the time that I wanted to use a certain software. Pisscord? Debian installer right next to the windows installer. Just click "install". Retro Minecraft? yes. Google Chrome? yes. Microsoft Edge? yes. MS paint clone? yes. on, and on, and on. The ONLY thing I can't get right for the life of me is an autohotkey program. They exist but the most popular one requires decent proficiency in Python. Overall, I've had NO problems "getting it done".

I've also not had any problems in figuring out what to do or where to go (thanks Cinnamon). Modern Linux unironically feels better to use than Windows. I also haven't had any problems with crashing or freezing except with this one crappy MS Paint clone. (1 crashing program out of 30 installed). Actually, it seems hard to break, I purposefully put it through the ringer by opening and closing programs right in the middle of operation and the OS doesn't react at all.

Fricken thing was easier to install than windows too. Windows seems to be rather choosy with what hardware it will except while Linux boots right up into a temporary OS on anything with a CPU. Then you can choose whether to permanently install or keep it temporary. It seems to be designed with the user in mind, rather than with profits in mind.

I hope I don't find any dealbreakers because I don't want to go back to winbloats.

Now that the dust has settled, can we finally agree that this book is a meme? It's hopelessly outdated and was meant for experienced programmers in 70s/80s who already knew languages like Fortran. It also recommends using libraries that are no longer considered safe.
