Comments: My first Linux experience was not so great I went back to windows the first couple of times I have tried to switch. But now that I discovered the amazing power of Linux distribution and I have tried almost all of them (it's really true), I can't live without it. Working with anything other than Linux is now a pain in the a** for me. What I like the most is that I have learned so much about OS and computers in general and the great thing is the you never stop learning more and more and as soon as you answer a question a hundred more suddenly appear, it never stops, but TRULY INTERESTING! I love Linux! It is fast, secure and you lear so much.
