5 years ago? Real commies switched to linux when you had to bicycle to the library to search for and print out documentation when your setup process broke.
Well, I wasn’t around back then. And when I was a kid, I just trusted my dad to be household sysadmin and handle/decide on anything technology related.
(I like the implied “real commies use Linux” thing here, though. That’s actually why I decided to try it out, even got distro recommendations from some comrades, and, well, I don’t like it, but I like Windows even less.)
My first Linux experience was installing Debian on a 486 without a CDROM drive or home internet access, with a whole lot of floppies and internet-connected school computers and printouts of HOWTOs.
The best time to ditch proprietary software is years ago. The next best time is today.
