I attempted to get into Linux. I just could never bring myself to purchase an Apple/Mac computer.

I had Linux/Ubuntu on this PC before, and also on a laptop. The main problem is you have to look up commands to update and stuff like that.

As soon as I buy new hardware, I am trying some of those other ones.

I tried Linux ages ago, it was like learning DOS all over again. :lol:
