Step 0. Get fed up with Windows 10/11 and all the forced-fed stuff, like ads and LLM, in the Start menu.

Step 1. Install Ubuntu Linux

Step 2. Learn Docker & cool stuff and wonder why I used an abomination called WSL. This is the real deal.

Step 3. Get into VIM. Watch some cool videos, and ditch the last spyware called VSCode.

Step 4: Learn about NixOS and switch to use because all cool kids like it. This is the end of the distro hopping.

Step 5: Minding my business and YouTube recommends FreeBSD. Oh noo. Here we go again…😅
