One year of Debian
One year of Debian
Let's face it, no-one's really interested to hear how random forum member X got into Linux after leaving Windows, which was so manipulative, insidious and generally terrible. However, I will mention that my personal journey into Linux started in Feb last year with Ubuntu and I moved to Debian in April, version 8.7.
I originally found Debian pretty hard, but I was determined to make it work and it took two weeks of learning to get properly settled. I became very comfortable with it and didn't expect to still be here a year later, but yet I am. I've learned a lot in the meantime.
Thanks to all the forum members who have helped me since - some of whom are here and some of whom are here no longer. Hopefully I helped one or two as well.

Re: One year of Debian
Well done Lysander, great decision — I've been running Debian stable on the family laptop for almost five years without a single hitch (it gets heavy use every day) and I really can't think of anything better for the task.

Re: One year of Debian
Congrats, who would have thought you were here for only a year!
Your contributions are that of an expert.

Re: One year of Debian
Thank you, Huang and HoaS, those are very kind responses which I didn't expect at all.
Wheeler - it's very generous of you to refer to some of my posts as expert but really I'm just an amateur, or I certainly feel like one. Nevertheless, I was schooled off-forum quite a bit by dasein, which has benefited me a great deal, and probably more than I realise.

Re: One year of Debian
I wish I still have time like I did 10 years ago. I have become lazy because of the little knowledge I acquire over the years running Debian.
Great job Lysander.

Re: One year of Debian
Great solution, Lysander. The longer you use it, the more experience you will gain. Good luck in this cozy Debian land.

Re: One year of Debian
In my case, i didnt go to debian, Debian came to me.. According to my experience, I think in life things happends this way. The same with women, etc... I dont like things working like that, but life is kind of extrange... things are unnatural and manipulated. but that is my perception, i might be wrong

Re: One year of Debian
Some very nice comments here, thanks, everyone. I didn't actually expect that - in fact I don't know what I expected when I started the thread. Very pleased to be here and to be with the OS.

Re: One year of Debian
Only a year? It seems like more time than that, for sure. Time flies when you are having fun, eh?
I have been using Debian since the Etch release, and you certainly have me already beaten in knowledge.

I moved to Linux/Debian with Wheezy, It took me two years long to learn about all distros/apps and knowing how to do things and how to replace windows apps with.rivenathos wrote:Only a year? It seems like more time than that, for sure. Time flies when you are having fun, eh?
