Playing way too many games when I was younger I realised I could do work with computers as a job if spent that time teaching myself.
Uninstalled Windows to stop temptation, hellooooo Linux

Good move, how old are you?

Wow! I still love to play! 😎

Win IoT Core and Azure cloud made me give Win another chance but Lin is always a good start

@lazyDev I've just turned 31, was hooked on online multiplayer games around the college era.
Luckily shortly after starting up a friend needed somebody to work on a project and I'd say a real case was what I needed to catapult my motivation! How did you start?

@ivanvcouso did you also dual boot for games/particular apps but end up having to go cold turkey? Haha

@LMtx Nothing wrong with learning and programming on Windows but linux exposes you to more of the inner workings which I found valuable in the long run.
Years down the line I now look for easier setups to increase productivity and although linux has become soooo much better at doing this, Windows was way simpler getting started back then!
