If you’re like me you love to try new things with your computer that continually push your knowledge further forward. Linux has for some time been a Hobie for me. I love it’s versatility and it’s community. One thing has kept me from using it as my main desktop OS, and that’s it’s choice. Many consider choice one of Linux’s main strengths, but I find it to be tiring. Choice of coarse means that you get to choose what you want, but for a newcomer to the Linux scene this can be monumentally daunting.
