> So what would you consider to be an ideal pipeline for breaking away from windows/apple? Assuming the person in question is a nontard autist.

first thing, don't listen to anyone with strong opinions. very easy to get into a vacuum with their retarded shit. compute how you like. find something simple that eases you out of the win32/jobsos world and into linux.

second thing. avoid all this fancy shit like nixos, gentoo, etc that requires you to do goat sacrifice to make shit work. something simple and easy to transition to is key. linux mint based off of ubuntu (based off of debian) is a nice place to start. it more or less follows normalish linux conventions and has a software store to install well software. i handed a windoze user a laptop with mint on it, his only question was how to get porn working. the rest he figured out. i mean the guy is 70. he's got priorities.

third thing. agnostic of your tism-status (i'm weapons-grade sperg), the important thing is to get into a workflow that works for you. not for timmy, petey, threaty, jonnycakes, etc. but for you (however tf i pronounce your handle). adopting other people's shit may work but it's going to be frustrating ride. case in point, i locked myself in an office for a week trying to adopt plan9 (don't ask) and i couldn't adopt. i'm a candidate for adoption, but my workflows are pretty rigid. examples of workflows below:

- as a user i can edit text files easily and fast.
- as a user i can update my system without stress
- as a user when i save images in this folder, something happens.
- as a user i want to listen to music with x program and have it launch at boot time

the nice thing about a *nix system is given the time you invest to customise how you compute, the results are fully in your control.
