 ## **Introduction**
-I say you need to learn _Linux_ because really there is no reason not
-to. If you are pursuing a career in IT then you will without a doubt
-come across _Linux_ and having even basic knowledge of _Linux_ will get
-you far simply because it is everywhere. Many people struggle with the
-OS simply because it's fundamentally different compared to the other
-operating systems but give it a bit of time, you will master the
-basics and understand how much control over the system it gives you.

+![true power](/gif/mha-power.gif)
 
 ## **But Why**
-As mentioned before, there isn't reason not to. **Linux is everywhere**,
-from data centres to your phone. **Understanding how to use _Linux_ is
-great if you in or looking at a career in IT** because not many people
--relatively speaking- know how to use it, it sets you apart from others.
-**I also believe _Linux_ gives you a deeper understanding of how your
-system works** at a lower level which can be great when it comes to
-troubleshooting. I think the most important factor is that **Linux is
-open source** and so you have the ability to look at the code you are
-running and with this comes full customisability of the system.
+**Linux is everywhere**, from data centres to your smart toaster. So
+if you are interesting in anything IT related then it's a great asset
+to have.
 
-If you consider yourself a power user then _Linux_ is the perfect
-operating system due to the aforementioned customisability but also the
-command line. Many people are scared away from _Linux_ as they are
-intimidated by the fact that they have to use the terminal, however if
-you can overcome this "fear" then you have unlocked a great power and
-from my experience will start finding GUI's cumbersome.
+Linux is great for power users because it allows you to customise all
+aspects of your workflow to make it yours. The amount of
+customisability is mind blowing and an endless rabbit hole which is
+awesome as there is always something you could implement to improve
+your workflow.
 
+Another great aspect of the customisability is the crazy number of
+options you can choose from to theme and tailor the Linux desktop
+experience to your liking. For some great and inspiring examples
+checkout [r/unixporn](https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/). This
+is what drove me to switch to Linux and Arch specifically.
+
+Linux is very Light weight (Depending on Distribution) and much
+faster than competing operating systems simply because more often
+than not the distributions of Linux are not filled with bloatware.
+The most extreme examples of this are distros like Arch or something
+like LFS (Linux From Scratch) where you get a completely bare bones
+installation of Linux and are required to install everything from
+Network Managers, to the Desktop Environment, although this can seem
+pointless at the start as you use more and more distros you will find
+things you like and don't on each and something like Arch allows you
+to choose every bit of software that is installed and come up with
+something completely custom. Plus then you can say `I use Arch BTW`
 
 ## **How can you start**
-There are many ways you can start using _Linux_ and a lot of them don't
-require you to use _Linux_ as your main operating system. You do need
-to be committed to using Linux. Try not to fall back to Windows or
-MacOS if you cant figure something out, **search for solutions.**
-**Lastly try to get comfortable with the terminal.**
 
 ### **Install Linux as your main OS**
-This is the **Full Send** option. This is a great option if you know
-a move to Linux is something you want to commit to. I think this is the
-best option as you have to start learning Linux to get things done so
-you have incentive to keep going.
+This is the full send option.
 
-
-**Choosing a distro is fun but a huge time investment, you will hear the
-term `distro hopping` which is installing different distributions of
-_Linux_ and with the number of distros out there this can be daunting
-for new users. A great Distribution that I recommend is 
-[Manjaro with KDE Plasma](https://manjaro.org/downloads/official/kde/)
+A great Distribution that I recommend is [Manjaro with KDE Plasma](https://manjaro.org/downloads/official/kde/)
 as it offers a heavily customisable desktop environment `KDE Plasma`
-and Manjaro itself is a great as it is based on Arch Linux so it can
-leverage the power of the AUR (Arch User Repository)
+and Manjaro itself is a great as it's Arch based but does not require
+you to start from step 0.
 
 ### ***MacOS*** **Terminal**
-_MacOS_ is actually _UNIX_ based and so **if you have an _apple Mac/MacBook_
-all you need is to open the Terminal** application and start playing
-around. I used this option for a while on my work machine and it works
-great. You get the best of both worlds with this option so if you have
-a MacOS device then this is a solid option. Not recommended if you
-don't have one of these devices simply due to cost 💸

+However I do not recommended this if you don't own one of these devices
+already due to cost 💸
 
 ### ***Windows WSL***
 The _Windows Subsystem for Linux_ is another great option to get started
-with _Linux_ as it installs the _Linux Kernel_ natively in windows and
-allows you to play around with a real _Linux_ environment, before doing

 ### **Virtual Machines**
-If there is a specific Distribution of _Linux_ you want to try without
-doing a Full Send then this is a great option however if you want to
-simply get to know the _Linux_ then choose the _MacOS_ terminal or _WSL_
-methods as they are a lot lighter.

+## Conclusion
+**Why are you still reading go and get stuck in with _Linux_ 💨**
+
+![do it](/gif/do-it.gif)
+
+As with anything learning _Linux_ is a journey and will take time.
+Enjoy the experience of learning it and uncovering it's hidden powers
+because it is well worth it. I have linked some great resources for
+other great Linux related content that helped me.
