I absolutely agree with you. He should have gotten help from the beginning, so a lot of his problems wouldn’t have manifested in the first place. Reading his experience is interesting but it doesn’t really convey the willingness to use a linux based OS, or any other OS that isn’t Windows for that matter. Notepad++ is great but will not work on MacOS either and especially the choices in text/code editors under linux are immense. And Ubuntu as first choice isn’t good for somebody doing the switch nowadays IMHO. Still kudos for jumping into cold water like that and still continuing.

Meanwhile random people just using SteamOS and being happy.
