Finally did it, finally installed Ubuntu on my fucking desktop and the transition is not as bad as I thought. I just have to install my dev environments now. C, PHP, SQL, C# (.NET Core)

    If you can live with only Linux, good choice...
    I also used mint for a month, but needed software (and games) that couldn't run in Linux, and don't like dual-boot. So now I just use VMs :D Tough, I would really prefer Linux.

    BTW learn how to use terminal. one way is to force yourself to use the terminal for install/update packages. Especially when you only need:
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
    to update all the software in the machine :D

    Also, did you know that python is already pre-installed in Linux?
    really good to create scripts and automate stuff.
    I think it comes with 2.7 don't really know.

    @GyroGearloose It comes with both python 2 and 3. When I dived into the Linux world I didn't really have to force myself to use the terminal, I think it is just easier to operate than GUI (faster, much easier to see trough)
    But I guess it can be different for everyone.

    @Besi Well, for a windows power user it isn't a problem, from someone like me who came from DOS, the same, but for non-programmers, normal windows users most don't even understand what the terminal is...

    @GyroGearloose I'm used to the terminal I just have to get used to giving myself permissions when needed like idk how to put something in my themes folder cause it wont let me :/ but yeah its helpful for me that python is installed I've been aware of tht for a while I just wish I could update it to 3.7.2 😅
