I got a new laptop last summer and the windows10 installed on it wracked my nerves and I hardly used it at all til now. So I figured as long as I am getting used to a new OS anyway, I might as well go all the way to what I really want! Yaaay for Linux! This is so wonderful it tickles!

The other big incentive for change is that I am putting together a non-profit venture that is based on the same principles of open sourcing, easy access, respect for privacy, and flourishing collaborations, so Linux is a natural fit practically and philosophically. I feel the research and writing that I'll do on my laptop will be very enhanced with a head-to-toes spirit of the free and open universe.

Thrilled to be here!
