My Linux setup
I have been changing my computer setup for many years now. I invested quite a lot of time into it, so I thought others should benefit from it as well. My main operating system is Linux Mint (a distribution of GNU/Linux). Since few manufacturers ship computers without operating systems and since I am already paying for a Windows license, I always keep Windows on the side, just in case. I am a big fan of FOSS (Free/libre open source software) and admire the people, who do everything to promote it, but at the same time, I am not sufficiently dedicated, so often I opt for convenience over philosophy.
