I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

0

It was an overcast January morning in 2025 the day I decided to delete my operating system.

The Ubuntu installer warned me that it would remove everything on my hard drive, permanently wiping the entire Windows 10 installation I’d been running for years at that point. I hesitated for a second – maybe I should just dual-boot? No, I’m going all in! Finally, I hit the button to install Linux. One year later, I still don’t regret that choice. I even resurrected an old Windows 10 laptop by installing Linux on it.

My decision to try out Linux was driven by a growing dislike for modern Windows more than anything else. However, I’ve come to appr …

  • Last 16: Albacete 3-2 Real Madrid

  • Stoppage-time winner secures huge upset

For 20 minutes of Álvaro Arbeloa’s debut as manager of Real Madrid, the fog came down and no one could see any football. For the other 70, they couldn’t either. Not from his team, at least. From Albacete Balompié, 17th in the second division, they witnessed something magical. An outrageous goal scored with single second to go was the perfect end to the greatest story they ever told, history made. When the final whistle went, Madrid headed straight down the tunnel, defeated again, while the party began in the Carlos Belmonte.
