@itsfoss Its a good place to start. Not ashamed to admit I needed those "training wheels" so I could "toe dip" in to Linux.

Now Im running Fedora w/ KDE and two headless Linux boxes (1 Debian Pi and 1 Ubuntu).

@itsfoss And true Linux users: What the hell is WSL? :)

@sslaia @itsfoss Windows Subsystem for Linux... 😐

@itsfoss hey, if it gets them exposed to Linux as a viable option, its a win

@itsfoss as long as it’s not the Devil it’s a good thing

@itsfoss that was me as of one year ago, then i realized i was living a lie because most of my work revolved around linux tools. After the AI hype, Windows became unusable for me, so i made the full switch. I admit i feel silly now because my productivity is much higher than ever, my simulations run 5 times faster than WSL. I don't miss a single thing about office or adobe apps anymore. The one thing i see as room for improvement is multi display support quirkiness and docking station issues. Other than that i'm fully settled and happy with debian

@itsfoss I got a friend hocked on linux with WSL.
Took some time but he is now rocking his own server at home. Some terminal basics go a long way.
