A while ago I installed Arch on my new laptop, as an alternative to windows. I managed to get everything i needed to work on arch work with the exception of some programs that do have debian support. So, I deleted windows from my old desktop, and I am installing Debian on that. In other words I will now be daily driving Arch and Debian on two different computers. I have escaped the windows hell.

    Glad to hear another success story of someone who dropped Windows.

    I dropped Windows on all of my machines over a month ago. My 2 desktops and 1 laptop I own are on Arch. I can’t fully escape Windows completely due to music production software I use due to lack of support for the hardware on Linux. (Thanks Line6…) So I run a Windows VM in QEMU with USB passthrough, but with no network access.

    I wrote an alias to count days its been since I switched to Linux full time.

    It wasn’t a difficult switch for me. Even with the learning curve. I actually enjoy the tinkering and learning aspect.
