Hi all,
Today, I was searching for best free antivirus, firewall etc. and I found this community. From the several threads that I read, I can say that the people here are really helpful and the mods/admins are doing a great job by keeping the trolls away.
I was a windows user until XP, then I bought a laptop in 2008 which came with Vista and I was like
and I thought of downgrading to XP but there was no driver support for XP at that time.
In the mean time, a friend of mine introduced me to Fedora Linux and have been using only Linux since then even though I freaked out initially & had to edit files manually to just get the audio working and I don't even want to talk about WiFi driver compatibility during 2008, so I just used a hard line.
After I was comfortable with Linux by 2010 (laptop died & I assembled a PC), I distro hopped a lot (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Arch, Manjaro, Debian etc. & different DE like Xfce, MATE, KDE etc.) just for the sake of trying them.
Currently I'm posting this from Fedora 22 MATE. I'm old school (not really that old) so I prefer Xfce/MATE and totally dislike Unity/GNOME 3.
So after using Linux as the only OS for more than 6.5yrs, I'm moving to windows as I need to work with an application that is available only for windows & the forbidden fruit and I prefer to stay away from the forbidden products.
And I think that's it. I would like to say thanks for opening this thread & reading this.
PS: Did I mention that I'm a sloth.
