OK, but why should I switch now?&rdquo;</p> <p>My impression was that Linux was a single operating system (OS), as any other mainstream OS, and that everyone&rsquo;d be using the same version.</p> <p>I didn&rsquo;t see a good reason to change from what I was using, my routines, and habits.</p> <p>Now that I look back, I think I feared having to learn something new from scratch. And also, of becoming different, by switching into something the majority of people I knew had never heard about.</p>
