Classmates of mine who moved to Linux in college, 20 years ago, all graduated at least a semester later than I did. To be fair, I got my pirated copy of everything from them.
Granted, linux is probably much more user friendly now. Although I still see mysterious errors on boot and cannot boot into newer kernel versions. How peculiar.
Yeah, it’s gotten a bit easier, just like Windows and Mac.
Not that much has changed, and frankly, most of basic Linux really isn’t that hard, it’s just getting people off the shitty windows concepts that is the hard part.
When we had to team up for lab assignments I was working with a like-minded guy and we did everything Linux when the assignment didn’t specifically specify that we had to use windows. The teacher was constantly updating the wording of his assignments and asked us to put a little bit of windows in there. We were way ahead of the rest of class and had plenty of time left to switch the windows parts in and out like nothing. That was 12 years ago.
If it was possible on Linux we used Linux, if not then we used windows. We used a very pragmatic approach, but favored Linux where possible.

I am getting into Linux now with Bazzite, but back then, Windows was still okay. Nowadays, Windows is as enshittified as MSN.com was back in the day.
I’ve used a Linux desktop for 25 years now

What is this even trying to say?
