What a nice surprise :D look who is here :) didn't I tell you that we shall

No wonder it died, I guess I know the reason :P Nuh, Windows is not too
bad, it just can't really beat Linux :D

That is too much for me and I don't deserve that. I am just a contributor
with endless passion and love to Linux. Thank you for your kind words. And,
the pleasure is mine. Working as a volunteer to FOSS Communities gave me
many good friends that I am glad to have!

Thank you so much for choosing and using Ubuntu GNOME and we are glad to
have you here and welcome you with wide open arms :)

As long as you have the passion to Linux, eager to learn, motivated and
willing to explore new stuff, you are on the right path no matter what is
your background :)

We are all learning :)

You are lucky that I just finished from this page last night:

You might be the first new member to our family who will go through it :D
Choose the area you prefer, my friend and enjoy your new experience here!
