Hello, everyone. I am Charles. I just stopped by to say that after years of Windows machines, and a few failed attempts to switch to Linux or BSD, I am finally here! And I'm here to stay.
Linux has made computing enjoyable again, something I had not experienced in a very long time(not since I was a kid(1990s). Yeah, I thought DOS and Win95 were fun, but hey, I was just 7-8 back then.
I have dabbled in C programming since 2003, so to me, Linux is like a dream come true. Up to now, using a computer was a chore that I dreaded, now its really fun and exciting. Glad to be here!

Re: Enjoying computing again
Hey Charles. That's exactly how I felt when I first discovered Linux (Ubuntu back then). It was a magical feeling!
I'm returning after a couple of years away and I've missed it. IMHO, you have landed on the best Linux Distro and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. This is a fantastic community too if you need the help.
