schestowitz"I have NEVER regretted the decision to move to Linux. Where I work "upgraded" to Windows 10 over 2 weeks ago and we are still spending more time squashing bugs than actually using the stupid thing. I updated my personal PC to the latest version of my favorite distro of #Linux and have had ZERO problems."Jan 16 08:19
