In the beginning

To whom it may concern,

I am a Linux fanboy wishing to remain semi-anonymous. I have been using Ubuntu linux for a little over two years now and love every minute of it, until hardware failure caused my last system to become unusable.  Currently I am running a Lenovo IdeaCentre with Win 7 64-bit, and I'm having a little trouble getting used to it, but that's beside the point.  Once I have the right cables and hardware, I'll get this sucker dual-booting.

I'm starting this little blog to let the world know about my experience with Linux vs. Windows, for those wondering, I don't mess with Mac. Ever. I just don't like using the OS for some reason.

Things you'll expect to see in this blog:

1.  My random rants about why linux is better for my personal lifestyle
2.  Problems I run into when using Windows 7
3.  Reasons I miss Linux/Ubuntu (until I get my new system dual-booting)
4.  Side-notes on music production software that I experiment with.
5.  Reviews and such on various programs and tools that I have come across.
6.  Updates on my system configuration, what software I am using/replacing and why.
7.  Shitty game reviews (I'm not a big PC gamer, but I like sharing when I do find something good)
8.  Whatever else pops into my head that may be relevant to mine/your interests.

So if you are new to Linux (as I still am imho), want info on Windows 7 from a new user's perspective, or you want a little insight on how other people use either of these operating systems, click that little follow button and visit often!

Note:  I am currently student teaching and may have little time to update this blog, but I will update as often as I can!

  3. Yeah Mike, Windows is a great OS for the average consumer. But depending on the software you need, your budget, and how much CLI stuff you do, it is not always the best choice.
