Windows User Experiments With Linux for 10 Days

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the user-gets-a-gnu-perspective dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Clarence Ladson over at Flexbeta decided to kick Windows to the curb for 10 days in an experiment to find out just how hard it would be to 'quit cold turkey' and move entirely to Linux.
