During 2013 in college I had an old MacOS laptop. Like a 2009 macbook. It was good for it's age until it wasn't. When it came time to replace it I had stumbled upon the world of Linux. I knew I wanted to build a desktop and all I needed to do was choose a distro. At the same time I had an Information Technology class. One day I asked the professor if he ever heard of Linux. That question derailed the class and I left that day knowing I was gonna spend the next few days installing Arch on my new system. The rest is history. Arch is my first and only distro. It's been an amazing ride so far.
