I've been writing about operating systems on my twitter and on my Facebook and on forums that have little to nothing to do with operating systems. I decided that I should try writing more extensively about my experience with different operating systems here. My interest in all the different operating systems out there for the average personal computer consumer sparked in me about a month or so ago when my Windows XP partition was corrupted. I did not have a boot-able repair disc; I was forced to dive into a new learning curve and install a linux-based operating system onto a flash drive to boot my computer.
I got my computer running on Ubuntu 10.04 with a flash drive to start backing up all my data before Murphy's Law had a chance to delete all the files on my hard drive. I got all my data backed up thanks to Ubuntu and I even burned an image of a Windows XP onto a disc so I could get could use Windows again. However, after I ran Windows again for half an hour, I decided I would be safer yet equally capable by using Ubuntu as my main operating system.
I've been using Ubuntu for a month now, getting used to its differences from what I was used to after 12 years of using Windows OS's. I'm not going to make the same mistake I did for so many years, limiting myself to one operating system. From now on, I'm going to keep an open mind about the different operating systems out there and bring whoever reads this blog in on the adventure.
