      <description>&lt;p&gt;Attachment  to  norms is what  hinders us  from  achieving our true power.&lt;br&gt;
How is that possible  you may  ask?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well  lets get  to it ...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There I stood   thinking  whether to  take the  plunge or not ;  tell  you what   I swam even before feeling the waters and evaluated every  single  outcome ,but then I recalled the only way  to be a dreamer was to  dream so  the only way  id   be  a swimmer was by  definitely taking  the plunge .&lt;br&gt;
Well  truth  be  be told ,   I had to  snap  out of it  and  and  make  my decision,,,&lt;br&gt;
I took  the dive ……..,&lt;br&gt;
just  so  you  know neither did I freeze nor drown the waters weren’t what they looked like. Invigorating is quite the term  for effect  the  waters   had  on  me ... &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Damn logical reasoning ,hell bent on making Me believe that the waters were icy  and  I’d freeze 🥶 on  diving. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enough  with  the Ngũgĩ wa Thiongo spirit and  lets get  back  to business ,I recently  shifted to  the &lt;strong&gt;Debian&lt;/strong&gt; based distro   &lt;strong&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/strong&gt; from  Windows and  have  loved my  stay there,because with an  environment  that  allows you  to  do   what you want  you  definitely  rise  with  the  power to  do more &amp;amp; be  more  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tell  you  what ,Shifting  to  Ubuntu   is  something  you  should add on to  your bucket- list , Developer or  not forget about the yammering around you and  think  about how it feels to venture into something new&lt;br&gt;
Reasons you should take the plunge if you haven't💣:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1.As a developer one should be flexible and be exposed to  working  in new Operating system  environments without lessening  productivity .&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2.Ubuntu helps in  familiarizing  with  the terminal  also  referred to as the Command line interface (CLI)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3.Wide range of technical  support on how to get started on your journey and advance to higher levels&lt;br&gt;
4.Linux based operating systems are one way  to  breathe life to old PC's and Laptops,this is because they  ensure optimal hardware utilization while ensuring efficient resource allocation.&lt;br&gt;
5.Needless to say Ubuntu boasts of a rich &amp;amp; Friendly Graphical User Interface GUI hence making  the go to destination for newbies who want to  familiarize with  command line without getting the “shift shock”.&lt;br&gt;
6.Ubuntu allows you to test it and get a hang of  it  before fully installing  it  as your Daily  drive /Host  operating system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;7.Ubuntu is free to download and use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;8.Ubuntu  is where developers are😎.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resources&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://linuxjourney.com/"&gt;Become a better“Luser”  linux User&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
