Took me a few tries over the years but maybe 5 years ago I tried dual booting Linux yet again and that time it stuck. I found myself leaving it on the Linux side for longer and longer stretches of time. Finally last year someone gave me a hand-me-down laptop and I just didn't bother installing windows.

Everything I do takes place in the shell, an IDE (of which there are tons), or by far the most common, in the browser.

I used Firefox because that's what my distro comes with but I also have Chrome installed for just in case. That turned out not to be an issue with the sites I typically frequent.

Today I had a random person look over my shoulder and ask "what kind of computer is that? Must be really old..."

Grrrrr.

Consider that a badge of honor.
