5 hard lessons I learned in my first week on Linux, and I'm better off for them
Quoting: 5 hard lessons I learned in my first week on Linux, and I'm better off for them —
Breaking three decades of Windows usage in the space of a week was not easy. All those years had given me years of muscle memory and expectations, and throwing all that away to start anew took a lot of work. However, I honestly believe that the first week I experienced moving from Windows to Linux made up 90% of the reason why I didn't rebound to Windows. The other 10% came from polishing the 90% I had developed during that week.
If you plan to make the jump from Windows to Linux yourself, I've written out the rules I learned in that formative first week. Hopefully you can make good use of them and don't make the same mistakes I did.
