I've been a hardware/software/electronics hacker all my life and I've been stuck in Windows.
I've really wanted to move my dev environment to linux but found the challenge so massive and time consuming that I kept procrastinating.
I've eventually taken the plunge. And you have really made it possible for me to get up and running SO MUCH faster.
I can still use many familiar programs (such as my own) that work for me and defer finding Linux alternatives to later when I have time.
I can actually get back to work now. And I'm in linux.
Its such a dream.
Thank you!
