I’m often asked: “hey, you’re a Linux guy right? What Linux should I use? I have this friend who recommends _____ and I want to know what you think?” I usually reply with the same question: what do you want to do? So I decided to make a blog post about it that I can send people instead. My History with Linux I should probably preface this article with a little bit of my history with Linux, in case you’re reading this and you don’t know me (very likely).
