Biography:

My journey with Linux is as follows:

I was a Windows user for years. Never a fan of Macs whatsoever, but okay with Windows...

Until I met mr. BSOD. He kept coming back and wouldn't go. No viruses, no disk issues... Just Windows.

Then I found Linux Mint. I gave it a try, and I haven't gone back since, nor do I ever plan to.

If you're considering moving to Linux from Windows, I would suggest you might enjoy Mint... I certainly have.

-- One happily Mintified user.

Favorite software:

ripoff-mp3-plugin
"Very useful plugin for a very useful program. Can't complain."

ripoff
"Brilliant. All features seem to work excellently here on Mint 13. Tracks are ripped well, and the program downloads music info too."

usb-creator
"Awesome, works all the time (don't forget to run with superuser priviliges). Great for live USBs"

extremetuxracer
"Awesome does not begin to describe this game."

recordmydesktop
"Great desktop recording program."

openshot
"For a similar program in that it is easy to use and edits videos, OpenShot far outweighs the capabilities of Windows Movie Maker. Feature-rich and constantly improving. 5/5."

xiphos
"A very nice Bible to be able to read from on your computer. I haven't had any problems with it, and it works well."

gtk-recordmydesktop
"Excellent desktop recording application. Works without flaw in LXDE."

baobab
"Beautifully simple and simply beautiful. An excellent disk usage analyzer."

audacity
"Great for recording on Windows, also for Linux."

fortune-mod
"Fortune... how I love fortune. Even better with more fortunes. What a fortune."

nano
"Great shell-based text editor."

galculator
"Good calculator app."

virtualbox-4.1
"Brilliant cross-platform virtualisation tool. Brilliant."

gnome-terminal
"Pretty configurable and visually pleasing for a terminal :D"

worldofgoodemo
"Extremely polished game with a smooth physics engine. Graphics are beautiful, and gameplay is extremely fun."

totem
"Does what I need it to do as a movie/music player. Simple and straightforward."

screenlets
"Epic."

compiz-plugins
"If you want Compiz effects, this package is an absolute essential."

compizconfig-settings-manager
"Great for customising Compiz settings."

compiz
"If, like me, you want nice visual effects, Compiz does the job and does it well."

xchat
"Does a nice job."

x11-utils
"Very useful package."

lxde
"Great DE. Lightweight and highly configurable."

gconf-editor
"Very much an important and useful config manager."

openjdk-6-jdk
"Brilliant Java package. Used it to run Minecraft on a friend's machine with no problems whatsoever."

evince
"Great job as a PDF reader."

gcalctool
"Does its job as a calculator, and does it well."

gthumb
"For an image viewer, it's simple, well-designed and fast. Exactly what you would want, you get from gthumb."

xaos
"I have no idea what I'm going to use a fractal zoomer for, but it sure is cool. Plenty of options and configurability."

titanion
"Insanity near its finest. Titanion has great sound, abstract vector graphics and insane gameplay that makes it a game you come back to play again. The only things really missing is a bit of changing background scenery and boss fights. Still, it's a very addictive game."

xmountains
"Quite a neat little program that takes you past a series of randomly generated mountains. Lots of flag options and neat graphics for sure. If I had a faster computer, this would be my wallpaper. Flags to choose the height of the horizon and perhaps some other effects (smoother scrolling, clouds) would make it even better."

projectl
"Great arcade game fun. Challenging but possible. The graphics are nice and smooth; somewhere between retro and vector style. It gets quite addicting."

frogatto
"Completely and utterly brilliant. Clever plot, beautiful graphics, a nice retro soundtrack, quirky characters and lots of features make this a platform game not to be missed. This game really deserves more publicity."

bsdgames
"Great little text games/software package."

bluez-compat
"Absolutely essential for some old bt hardware."

tint
"A great little Tetris clone. It is indeed pretty similar to the original tetris. Tetris in a terminal window... 5 stars!"

geany
"Nice, clean and does the job well. The Notepad++ for Linux."

synaptic
"Quick, easy and effective installation tool."

gimp
"The epitome of image manipulation programs. Cleaner, faster (and freer) than Photoshop."

armagetronad
"An incredibly fun arcade-style game. It runs quickly and smoothly."

thunderbird
"Excellent email client. Does what you want it to do."

gedit
"For plain text editing, gedit really can't be beat. Moving from Windows, it's the equivalent of the essential Notepad program."

xmille
"This is a classic card game that's hard not to like. As far as text games go, this is a brilliant adaption. The AI is also challenging; not too simple or impossible to defeat. If I need some stress-relief in the terminal, mille is where I'm going."

libreoffice-writer
"LibreOffice Writer does an excellent job at word processing. It has great compatability options, and is much cleaner than MS Word."
