I’m an educator, and my Windows PC crashed during my first period class.
I had a cinnamon mint USB drive in my bag. I booted to it, and it saved the day!
I don’t have anybody to tell just how much of a godsend that was, but I figured you guys might appreciate it!


I know that story doesn’t really go anywhere, but it was a big deal to me!
Might be worth permanently defenestrating, if possible.
Already a step ahead of you there!
As soon as I saw all my drivers were working and all my software needs were met, I went ahead with the install after work.

Haven’t seen getting off Windows referred to that way before, but I love it.
Richard Stallman said it best:

<eating from foot intensifies>
Ok, this is the perfect verb for leaving Windows! I love it. The verb was already fun, but I never thought to apply it to the OS.
It went from a disaster to your day being saved! It was a great story!
What are you talking about? That is one hell of a story!
