Back in November my home PC kinda died and in the attempt to resurrect it I ended up back using Windows XP.  Now being a versatile person who has experience with Windows, Mac and Linux I didn’t really care what was on there as most of the applications I use are all web based and OS independant.  I did enjoy a few easily setup parts of Windows, and the fact that I could run some games that were not fully supported on Wine, however the OS has been glitching for the last week or two and I have now decided that it needs to be Ubuntu-fied.

I shall sacrifice the ease of Windows connectivity with my devices for the slightly more difficult but oh so much more stable Ubuntu.  The need to be Windows compatible is not something I am willing to put up with glitches and reboots for.  I am not willing to put up with Windows simply because the masses say that it is the best thing to do, I shall struggle slighlyly for connectivity and pursue the freedom that is Open Source, and the luxury of a built in App installer that knows what’s compatible with the software and where to find it.  I shall put up with a slightly more difficult path and wear my geekhood proudly!

For Linux is the system, the power and the future and I shall succeed where countless other geeks have done so, or my name isn’t Syridian.
