Shit even years ago that “open source” part was true. I switched to all open source programs (when possible) even though I was still on windows the second I found out how much better VLC is than everything. That was like '07 lmao. And it indeed was a big reason I stopped being scared of switching to linux, someone told me “dude almost everything you use already runs on linux, you won’t even need to find alts.”
That’s a good point about WSL though too because afaik that wasn’t around when I switched and I was indeed still scared of the CLI (until I switched and watched a few “linux CLI basics” and “bash basics” youtube videos.) I’ll have to remember to recommend that for those in my old shoes, thanks!
