Maybe most won't be able to relate and that's ok, I realize that my ways are not for everyone and truthfully they may not even be practical. However, I can't help but to think that I delayed this for too long anyways.
Even though I've been using Linux for the longest of times, I've always kept one laptop, one system running Windows just in case. In case I wanna play something, in case I want to try some fancy software, something that might prove too difficult in Torvalsland, but after the bloatware on the last bastion, my Asus laptop, began to crash and make it painfully slow, I've decided it's time to press the fork it button.
Since I'm messing with python these days and I'm jumping head first into JavaScript too, I probably won't have time to play with anything that requires windows. In other words, I don't think I will miss my turtle speed laptop at all.
As a matter of fact, it's probably going to feel brand new again, since mint is such a light distro.
New year's Eve and I'm geeking out... Hahaha ... I have to laugh at myself.
