My Path to Linux
GNU/Linux — most often referred to just as Linux — is a free, open-source computer operating system. I began using it a few years ago when Microsoft Windows XP Professional started having issues with my computer’s NVidia video card. The computer began to crash randomly and increasingly. A couple of virus scans later, I verified it was not a virus taking down the system.
I decided to resize the NTFS partition and create space for the installation of Lycoris Desktop/LX Linux. Lycoris Desktop/LX Linux was a beginner-friendly Linux distribution. It has since been acquired by Mandriva. In little time, the computer was setup to dual boot between Windows and Lycoris. I booted the computer into Lycoris and began learning my way around a Linux system. A month later, the computer was still running without a single crash or reboot. It verified what I suspected: the video card was not failing; the operating system was.
I continued to use Lycoris for several months.
