to Linux. I do not come from Windows, as well as a lot of Linux users<br>
of my age or who are way older than I am.<br>
<br>
My first machine with something Microsoft alike was an Atari ST with a<br>
80286 hardware emulator, IOW a PCB containing a real 80286 CPU was<br>
soldered. Even this time I didn't use MS-DOS, but DR-DOS, because<br>
Microsoft failed to be reliable from the very beginning.<br>
<br>
Actually I'm not using Ubuntu from an Ubuntu desktop image. I<br>
usually start without a GUI, by e.g. an Ubuntu server install with<br>
disabling the install of several packages or I'm using a DVD or a<br>
Ventoy USB stick with a persistent live Ubuntu flavour such as Ubuntu<br>
Mate, Xubuntu etc., or NomadBSD. My daily used Linux on my desktop<br>
machine is Arch Linux with openbox and no WM at all. I can also boot<br>
into a customised *bunt with openbox (or jwm) and no WM at all.<br>
<br>
I'm running QEMU/KVM and VirtualBox for other operating systems,<br>
including Windows XP, 7 and 10, let alone that I help my neighbourhood<br>
with Windows issues.<br>
<br>
For photos, drawing, drawn and stop motion animation videos, as well<br>
as music productions I'm in favour of Apple.<br>
<br>
I have not the slightest idea what is easier when using the Windows<br>
GUI, than when using BSD, Linux (with openbox and command line, I<br>
usually do most things using command line, instead of e.g. a file<br>
browser and such helpers). I guess people get used to something and are<br>
unwilling tom learn something different, even if it should be easier to<br>
use, they fell it's harder to use, because they are used to something<br>
odd in the first place.<br>
