Hello everyone, in this video I spend 157 days trying to use Linux as my main operating system for every daily task I would normally complete on Windows. Linux is a free and open-source operating system often seen as the power-user alternative to MacOS or Windows 11.

Huge thanks to HBADA for sponsoring this video, and providing the HBADA X7 to ease the pain of Linux. This is the best chair I've ever owned.
