Congrats! Made the switch finally early this year myself, after thinking about it for nearly twenty years. Hasn't been nearly as hard as I was worried it would be.

I will say that the "Linux Basics for Hackers" is a pretty disappointing book that really should just be called "Linux Basics", and spends too much time pandering with things like "cool" scripts that do nothing useful or wrap a simple command in a way that doesn't actually make it more useful or easier. It's also full of inaccuracies and just isn't very well written, and if you've gotten through much at all of How Linux Works, you're not likely to get anything out of it.

I love how under most Linux threads there is war and anarchie and many know-it-all, but under this? A New Penguin? Lets Embrace him in the best Community there is.

Nice Work Man

I went back and forth for about six years.

Then I began using Linux on a home NAS, then using the host GPU for virtualization, then proton... and when proton hit, that was basically.

Yep! Packing my shit! We're going to penguin land!

welcome to the pain

CLI is love. CLI is life.

lucky for you, my laptop in its entirity is unsupported by the linux kernel (msi gf63 thin 9sc)

I've used Linux for 20 years and never picked up a book on it. Not that there's anything wrong with the books, but let's not give the impression that it's necessary.
