Yeah I did. Didn't do it before purely out of not wanting to do the transitional work. But now that Microsoft's bullshittery made me angry enough to do it, I am loving it. Just Debian with xfxe4. It works, it's interesting and I learn new things about CLI and stuff. Also it doesn't feel like I have to fight my os just to have a little privacy and peace of mind. I love the: "everything is a file" thing. It just makes changing settings much more accessible. Still struggling with some things. I still do not understand the logic of the file organization system, but I think this will get better over time. Thanks to all the Debian developers and Foss developers in general. You are the true heroes.
I know people who work in windows environments as developers or admins using power shell a lot. They can automate sooo many things through scripting. I work in IT too but this advanced scripting shit is still witchcraft to me. But this is real world usage which makes digital infrastructure management work a lot more efficient. Especially if you have repetitive tasks say on different machines. With GUI you would just be clicking through the same shit over and over again (while slowly loosing your mind).
