       | mistake.

       | On topic... calling switching to Linux an "upgrade" is pretty
       | presumptuous. It's not an upgrade for someone whose business
       | relies on programs or technologies which are still only available
       | on Windows - for many of those people, that's probably why
       | they're on Windows in the first place.

       | This website is _terrible._ Its  "resources" are almost entirely
       | just links to articles and youtube videos. The information is
       | poorly presented and poorly written. Why is the front page
       | entirely taken up by a picture of a penguin?

       | The content here is neat! Running into a typo in the first
       | sentence I read was a little off-putting though.
