I've been messing around on PC since the Counterstrike days in highschool. For gaming i never owned a console, was always into custom PC. I always enjoy learning new things regarding research, new hardware.
On GAW I have learned how to archive, meme, scrutinize more strictly and find better primary sources among many other things. I would like to learn more from my brethren here.
I will share a few. Keyboard shortcut basics:

We are all thirsty for knowledge!
I recommend everyone learn linux. You can take the blue pill (Windows) and go back to believing whatever you want to believe, or you can take the red pill (linux) and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
I second this.
It may seem intimidating, but there are many beginner friendly flavors of Linux out there, lots of resources for getting started, and when getting started, requires little to no more tinkering than Windows does today.
There will always be a learning curve when moving to something new, but this is worth the commitment.
As seen in the immediate aftermath of January 6 and the rush to censor all Trump supporters, label them terrorists, and kick them off many platforms, any software controlled centrally by one company (i.e. Microsoft, Apple, and Google) is subject to locking you out of your own computer system and data, for any reason.
While there ARE some woke influences in the Linux world, it isn’t centralized or owned by any one company. Because it’s open source, we have as much control over it as any other group. And the more we all start using Linux of any flavor, the more we build up the Linux ecosystem, and the less entrenched Apple, Microsoft and Google become.
