Years before I switchedish to Linux, I already started preferring FOSS applications. Basically I made a bunch of word templates, then by an error, my licence for office was revoked (I was supposed to have it with my place of work at the time) and I realised that I built my house upon the sand. So I looked into openoffice formats and got libreoffice, and remade all of my templates in that. I believe there are also other office apps that would be able to read my documents just fine, pretty sure?

Anyway, eventually the issue was rectified, but I was definitely not switching back to MS Office. I had adobe for a bit but their tools were annoying to keep cracking. switched to Inkscape and gimp. Then I started toying around with selfhosting so had a linux CLI on a few machines. You think I’m using Windows Server? 🤣

Do when it came to when Ibgot a new computer, installing Linux just made sense.

My old computer is my gaming machine though, still runs windows and I use it occasionally, then get reminded of how much I hate windows.
