Discovered Linux when I bought an old Dell i5 laptop from ebay. Loved it - it just doesn't get in my way and gave me some time back. Almost like I'm retiring from the world of working bullshit. Then bought a another old desktop with W10 on it and immediately repurposed as a Linux project box. Didn't even finish Win setup. Just immediately popped in a Mint cd and install was nothing to it.

While Win now controls my computing experience like I'm some crofter on some clan chief's land, in 2021, linux actually handed back control and gave me more capacity to not have to deal with stupid windows shit. Time, time, time. Now I'm intent on getting rid of android. Google is starting to creep me out. Want to move to a linux phone. Just not quite there yet. Time, freedom, personal sovereignty.
