Using Linux as your daily driver for a year.

You get a fancy badge if you complete it.

For those looking to expand their computer literacy, Linux is a great platform to learn. As Wendell stated in his Level 1 Linux videos, in working with Linux you can feel the heartbeat of the system. Being open source you can know what your computer is doing. Gaming on Linux is becoming viable as more gamers are playing their games on Linux, see Steam HW Survey. This challenge is for those looking to give Linux a good try as a daily driver for a year. There are many emulation programs available to run the software you can’t do without, see Linux Software List, or even the possibility of running your software inside a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox, see Virtualbox: Word On Windows On Linux!. Please note, as many here can attest, there will be times when you break your install. The best words of advice someone gave me was don’t be afraid to break Linux, that’s how you learn how to use it. Good luck on your Linux adventure!
