Since I have a “spare” desktop computer, I ought to give this a try. Only problem is that there are only 24 hours in a day and I’m already doing too many unproductive things. But learning the potential future operating system would, perhaps, be a good use of some time.
You kind of have to hit ‘rock bottom’ for it to really make sense to get used to a whole new environment. It’s a big change and when everything is foreign, it’s easy to go back to what you’re used to.
Windows Vista was rock bottom for me. I figured that if they were going to change a bunch of the stupid nonsense I had memorized on Win2k/XP for no reason, I may as well learn it all again in Linux instead of learning their crap so they could just change it all again for no earthly good reason.
Of course Linux isn’t without it’s issues in that regard. The quest to try and make every desktop perform like a phone or a tablet infuriates me and it runs across both Windows and Linux. With Linux, however, there are some alternatives that I find more viable than the Windows ones that I’ve tried.
