    back then, I thought it was some scary OS for people who’s tech savvy

    That “too hard, too scary” reputation is a big part of what has held back linux adoption.

    But when people actually give it a try, most realize that reputation isn’t really true.

      As a Linux Noob, Linux was lot easier than I expect it to be. Think it was me having the “This isn’t Windows so I might as well as research about anything Linux related” mindset which it paid off for me. It got to point where Windows is now my secondary OS (Mainly to use it to use Tomb Editor to make custom Tomb Raider levels which is annoying to get it running with Wine which I don’t know how to troubleshoot at all.)

      It’s ironic how it’s now my main OS and if you told me several years ago that I would be mostly using Linux, I would think you’re talking total nonsense.
