Linux Has Me

Well, really, it has had me for a little over a year. However, in that time I’ve been finding myself not just using linux more and more often, but it has become my primary OS on my three computers, and I’ve even started using Debian Linux… with Fluxbox… and command line programs… Its frighting.

So, I’ve been pretty much assimilated, I suppose.

I can’t say I can really complain either. I actually feel much more comfortable running inside of linux these days than I do windows. Its quicker, seems much more efficient, and I have an interface that conforms to what I like – not to mention a very minimal look, which I love.

Of course, getting linux installed, which I’ve done quite a few times now, is not going to be the easiest thing for the computing layman to do. That said, once you get past the initial setup of the OS, actually using linux can definitely be a snap. Alright, not quite so much in fluxbox with its configuration files that you need to edit, but other Window Managers that I’ve tried – including GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and to a (vastly) lesser extent, Elightenment – are pretty simple.

It is a bit amusing to see how much my computing habits and interests have slowly evolved over the last year or so.
