I've used Windows for 30 years. Exclusively. Never even bothered to learn any other operating system until I got an android phone (which was later than most people did)

I'm mainly a hardware guy, and I've taken computers out of the garbage a few... hundred times,
If the machine was worth a damn it got a pirated copy of windoze and sold at a low price.

Always wanted to try linux, but I'll be perfectly honest, I'm unnerved by the Terminal.
I've had to use it a lot this week, after installing Linux Mint to an AIO, two laptops, and now my media server. So I'm not quite so afraid of the Terminal as I was before.
I respect it. It is Powerful Simplicity.

......still feels like black magic to a simple farm boy.

Once I get 3.5 TB of media transferred to the new HDD I'll be installing Plex. (which was previously about the outermost extent of my networking knowledge. Yay)

My server lives offsite from my home, so I had to set up a way to remote into it.
I know you Linux folks are going to tell me there's such a more simple way through the Terminal and I don't give a damn, I'm using RustDesk.

And at one point today I found myself remoting into my home computer to set up a remote connection to the server sitting right in front of me. And I grinned a bit when it all worked and I could move the cursor, via my phone, through a midpoint 12 miles away.

Once the Plex side is done I'll also install Jellyfin alongside it. But most of my family uses Plex so that's the priority.

How long does it take before you start liking the Terminal?
