Linux user
Since 2019
Using Linux operating systems at a professional level
Field of profession: IT, skill strength: moderate
When I got my first laptop, I had to use it with linux for a while as Microsofts drivers were so bad that the laptop was unusable. At first it was overwhelming, but after a while I got used to it and I started to like it. Later as the drivers were fixed I made my laptop dual boot and kept using Linux.
I also liked the ideology that linux users have. Almost everything is open, packages are mainained and collected in repositories, updates are simple and efficient. I realized many points where Microsoft was copying linux as well. In fact, I would have changed to linux for good if it was not for the many engineering softwares that I use.
I have used linux for solving tasks that were not possible on Windows, namely cloning with dd, compiling firmware that’s enviroment was set up in linux and WSL was not released yet.
