Linux just feels natural to me.
From: Unkmar ------------------------------------------------------ My general preference has been LXDE on Debian. It has been months since I used Linux. I mean REALLY used Linux. OMG, I still love it. Felt a little rusty at first and then things just started feeling good again. Part of the funny feeling is that I really love the feel of the command line for most things. Synaptic is funny feeling and clunky. I hope aptitude never goes away. For me synaptic, apt and apt-get still require a bit of bumbling around to find things. Those are great when you know almost exactly what package you want. But aptitude is just easier to use. Ah... Bliss. I am never more reminded of how much I hate Windows than the comfort and natural feel of using Linux. Too bad this particular Linux install is in a VM. Oh well. #LoveLinux Lucius L.

I was reminded of how thankful I am for Linux when I had to wait on a customer to upgrade his mac book pro from version 10.10 to 10.15. Something around 2.5 hours... Completely unusable during that time too. Much like many of Windows' updates. Thankfully I had other things I needed to work on while I waited. Updating any of my Linux boxes and/or laptops, even a major version update, is nearly painless and done in the back ground. No staring at a spinning circle twiddling my thumbs! Likewise, I feel much more comfortable in the command line. Granted, most things can be done from the GUI for the average Joe but it's so much easier to just drop into a terminal and run a couple commands. Ok, for us it's easier ;) -Michael
