If you are serious about switching to Linux, use it exclusively for 2 weeks.
Avoid booting to windows for that period of time, or you are likely to start retreating back to it instead of getting used to linux as your new home and working on making it feel comfortable
You can safely experience installation process and the basic usage through a virtual machine

>bumping a fucking general
why?
are you afraid it might 404 before whatever the point of this thread is resolved ?
>>53536046
I hope you saged.
>>53535908
OP, maybe if you expand your list of software you'll get more acceptance.
Also, I like some of your other pasta too.
>>53536050
bump

Le friendly approval guy
>>53536132
What do you mean? I dislike much of the software displayed on the list but with no other infographic around the only viable alternative is the best alternative. Is not like I fully approve the use of proprietary software neither.
PS: I know the pic looks like pixelated balls and dick.
>>53536216
I agree, we should make OP understand that and provide him with free as in freedom alternatives thou. I have hopes he will understand.
>>53536168
we have the wiki for a reason, it has a great page on recommended software.
>>53536271
Some people find an infograph a great first start. Moreover all those newbies jumping out windows. Of course not even OP's image fits this schema, but I was hoping we eventually had on infograph for beginners.
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but maybe is because we are CLI people we dislike infographs.
>>53536338
I think I'll make one based entirely on the wiki with only free as in freedom software. can we let this thread die already?
>>53536357
I'm okay with that :)
