I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

Oh god, installing Linux (especially if first time) without internet seems like an absolute nightmare. I don’t know how you did it, but I am very much impressed!

So I will get the DEB file for GIMP, and dpkg it forcefully. It will complain about missing dependencies, and I will keep that as a note. When I go to school the next day, I would get all those dependencies and dpkg them when I get home. Then I will take note of all still missing dependencies. Then I will repeat the process until I installed everything LOL

Yes. It’s something I’m never going to do again LOL

Happily running Arch now, I’m never going back to Windows!

Oh. my. god. That sounds like a massive headache. I can’t even imagine how long it would take to get anything installed considering the huge dependency lists some software has.

Yes, please never do that again if you have any other option :D
