I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

    My first computer was a Samsung N150 Netbook (Intel Atom N450 1,6GHz, 1GB RAM, Intel 3150 with Win 7 Starter which i bought instead of a smartphone in primary school. I refunded the smartphone i bought since it was very bad. Windows 7 Starter sucked on this netbook and you couldn’t even change the background image without changing some registry entries. Not sure where I got the idea to install Linux but I decided to install Ubuntu on it (i think it was ubuntu first and later lubuntu like lubuntu 8.10) and i had a much better experience than with windows. I also hosted a mincraft server on this laptop and played at the same time with almost zero fps and my friends complaint about the server lagging XD SO FUNNY XD

          I had a love hate relationship with it. On one had it was mine and I could do whatever I wanted with it, on the other hand the thing couldn’t even handle playing 720p Youtube videos. Mine was running win7 ultimate tho, would probably a lot nicer with Linux on it.
