I feel this.

I've finally ordered new hardware, last of it gets here this weekend. I've made a choice of a distro to start, but if I'm like everyone else here, it's just a start. ๐Ÿ’€

Either way I'm excited to join the revolution. I knew a long time ago I would never continue with Windows after 10 turned into a disaster. I mean it always has its problems, but I never looked too far into switching because I was locked in with games. Since I knew I would never give in to sullying myself with 11, there was a ticking clock until 10's EoL date as a deadline.

Made the jump sooner than I thought. Can't wait to try it out for real.

Had a dual boot I tinkered with back when Ubuntu was on version 6 point something, whatever "Edgy Eft" was. Poked around in a VM a lil bit about a year and a half ago, can't remember what distro that was, but never dug in as a daily driver, since I mainly use the computer to play games.

But now I get to try it for real.

Good luck! I've been using Linux on my main rig since December when I challenged myself to use it exclusively for an entire month. I only boot into Windows to play Valorant every now and then.
