    and computing is fun again.

    I agree 100%. I’ve been trying to put my finger on why.

    Maybe it’s because using Linux doesn’t feel adversarial?

    Maybe it’s because Tux Racer comes pre-installed with some distros and brings a whole vibe?

    Maybe it’s the software center that prominently displays a warning for anything that isn’t completely free in either price or freedom?

    The Linux Software Center feels like my happy memories of getting to spend $5.00 in a 10 cent candy shop.

    Maybe it’s because it is where many librarians, educators and free thinker gather, and their fingerprints are on everything?

    Sorry for the random walk comment. I just keep thinking I should figure out the elevator pitch for why Linux feels more fun.
