Linux really is the future

I’ve been back to using Linux now for a while and I’ve pretty much completely forgotten that I was even using Windows before. But its not just that – its not just that my experience is the same as before: Its so much better.

Linux is so awesome. Its so fun to use. There are so many cool things about it.

Today I managed to set up my system where I have three virtual desktops: One main desktop that is for general-type stuff, then one desktop for one of my online courses, and the third desktop for my other course.

I have browser windows relevant to each course open in each virtual desktop. I also have Okular open with relevant texts in each desktop, and of course terminal windows in which I write code.

Having it organized like this is such a huge leap. I can keep all my stuff for each programming course together in one desktop. When I want to study or work on it I just switch to it. And when I want, I switch away from it and can do other things.

This helps so much in preventing things getting cluttered and from getting overwhelmed trying to keep track of too many things.

I frequently – pretty much always – have many things going on simultaneously. I can burn out easily or just get overwhelmed and lose track of things, after which I have to start over again which is difficult.

I go through this all the time. But my goal is to not have to, because things will be organized.

As I’m working on my system right now I have this feeling as if I can sense the future – this very positive, bright, cool future of which Linux and free, Open Source software is a major part.
