Ubuntu Calling…

OK. I have had it with Windows. Really, I have. The annoyances, the arrogance, the in-your-face-f**k-you attitude they have for their users… It’s time for a change.

I would love to buy a Mac or two (An iMac / MacBook Air combo would be nice), but looking at the bank statement, that ain’t gonna happen any time soon.

So I guess I am going to go with Ubuntu. I love Ubuntu, I really do, and it would probably have been my first choice if Adobe apps ran on it, but sadly, there are no Linux versions of Photoshop and Lightroom. (So I guess I will still be running Windows, but only on rare occasions.)

So, let the experiment begin!

I am trying to, wherever I can, switch my apps to open source versions as well.

Let’s see how this goes.

So far, most days, I can seem to run Ubuntu all day and not ever have to switch back to Windows to do anything.

Still looking for some killer replacements for my old-standby Windows apps. I guess I will find them as I need them. I can’t say I have played with many Linux desktop apps outside of server and network tools and the occasional editor; my Linux experiences have mostly been using it as a server, not a desktop. So there is a lot of opportunity to find some cool desktop apps I have not been exposed to before.
