  • Started using Linux in 2010 on a virtual machine on a Windows XP machine that was really not meant to run it and it was God awful. But I knew that it was the virtual machine not Linux itself. After that I was using my laptop for school and a Windows update completely broke it and I absolutely had to use it for the next class that I was going to in like five minutes and I had a flash drive with a live Linux environment already on it and so I just used that. However, once I was done with class that day, my first thought was why should I even go in and attempt to fix this Windows machine when Linux has been working fine for me all day. And so I just went ahead and wiped the disk and ran the installer. And I’ve been using Linux ever since. I do generally keep a Windows virtual machine around, just in case, but it’s extremely rare that I’ve ever needed to use it.
















  • Really depends on the carrier. For example, here in the United States, T-Mobile and Verizon seem to pretty much take anything that will work on their network, and most things will. But AT&T runs a whitelist system, and so I highly do not recommend them at all. As for VoLTE I Have found the only definitive way to make sure is to actually purchase the thing and see and return it if it doesn’t. Either that or stick with the big brands.
