I said it with Windows 7 and it's a good thing to consider with Microsoft phasing out Windows 10 ~ a year from now (and currently pestering Win10 users nonstop to upgrade): Now's a great time to get friendly with some other operating systems if Windows is still your main thing. If you're new to Linux, e.g., Ubuntu is probably a good start. Install it in a virtual machine like Parallels or Virtualbox and just gradually start using it more for stuff.

There will be a learning curve while you navigate the various stuff you need to know at the command line, but that's a great stepping stone to creating shell scripts and becoming a lot more proficient at using your computer, as opposed to the other way around.

I will probably kick Windows to the curb entirely next year. It will help me waste less time killing random strangers on Halo.
