From the post:

>In January I finally made good on my threat/promise to install Linux on my desktop. I wanted to see how far I could get using a Linux PC as my main computer without doing a bunch of research beforehand or troubleshooting afterwards. Since then I have booted into Windows exactly twice: once to scan a multipage document that wasn’t scanning right in Linux, and once to print a photo for my kids’ school on extremely short notice. There’s a reason it’s taken me three months to write the next installment in my Linux diary: nothing has gone horribly wrong.

I wish I could say finding and installing software on Linux was easier than windows.. that was not my experience, especially with games. Even as annoying as current day windows is.. the finding and installing part has never really been an issue.

It depends. If you use something like Steam or GOG it's pretty easy. It not, it's a but more involved. That is also changing but I get it.
