Part 1: How It All Started I started using Linux about four years ago. My very first distribution was Fedora, followed by Ubuntu, which I used for about a month before switching back. The main reason I left Ubuntu was its interface; I simply didn’t like it. But beneath that was a deeper frustration: bloat. Ubuntu came pre-installed with so much software that, as someone still finding their footing in Linux, I felt completely lost.
