I actually learned to love FreeCAD, and was originally running it on windows. It’s quirky, but very powerful, and keeps improving with each revision. With that, the switch to Linux was seamless.

Thank you SO much for posting this. It was amazing!!
It’s so goddamn liberating! Enjoy the journey!! I installed Linux mint on some super old 32 bit, low powered (arm or atom processor) netbooks from 15 years ago. And it should be said that they were completely unusable 2 years after purchase, with all the extra bloat of windows running on them. Anyway, these netbooks were still underpowered for my purposes today, but I configured them to instantly boot up the sugarizer desktop learning environment, and my 3 and 5 year olds love them. Shortly after this experiment I purchased a SteamDeck, and I couldn’t be happier or more impressed. I’m not a hardcore gamer, and with a 3 and 5 year old, who could have the time? It’s perfect for the few waking minutes after the kids go to bed. Since all this, I’ve been updating more recently “obsoleted” laptops with Linux, and I can totally see my household completely switching over to Linux OS in the next 5 years. Speaking as the house IT guy….
Looking forward to Lemmy.world pushing the block button when it comes to it…
Also guilty. I guess the first step was admitting I had a problem. But I’m working on it. One reply at a time.
Literally depicts every other walk I take with my doberhound.
Got it. Perhaps it’s the unfederated + my instance combination that is the hurdle that needs to be jumped to feel like a world wide community rather than a series of loosely connected silos. I’m happy with where I’m starting, but I picked an instance as an easy entry point. Thinking if I choose an instance too specific to one of my interests, I’d be limited to that topic specifically. I really just want it all to interconnect, and have seamless access to all. I know it’s new, and I’m new. I’ll be patient because this is what I’ve really wanted and I’ll wait for it to mature.
That’s some great insight!
Thank you! Much appreciated quasar!
On the app now! Great first impression and enjoying the experience! Thank you all for the IOS efforts!
That seems reasonable. I think I’ll throw in my social security number and DNA sample for good measure… just in case they need it.
So true. We couldn’t be living in a better time for inexpensive hardware and free software.
