I used Desktop Linux for 2 YEARS - here's what I learned.

My journey with Linux has hit the 2-year mark this summer! Some people do the 30-day challenge, some do the 3-month challenge, maybe 6-month...? At 2 years, this isn't so much a challenge as much as it was a lifestyle choice. Surfing the web, documents, gaming, recording, even thumbnail design work - all of it has been done under the watchful eye of the penguin.

In this video I'm going to ramble and yap a bit about my own journey with Linux thus far (and hopefully where it ends cus I don't wanna move to another distro), as well as talk about some things I learned, what tips or tricks worked for me; ultimately, things that I felt helped me a lot in learning how to work with this operating system along the way to acclimate myself to daily use with it. Keep note that none of this is formally considered a guide or advice - think of my points as isolated incidences; talking to myself from two years ago if I were a time traveler, as it were.

Enjoy!
