James Lee - How I Broke up with Adobe [An animator with 850K subscribers talks about using Adobe alternatives and switching to Linux]
I moved to Linux about 2 years ago. It instantly felt better in terms of security, privacy and speed.
But there were many weeks of frustration trying to get things the way I wanted.
A bit like moving to a new town, you don't know where things are, you miss so many things about your old town, but gradually you learn about the new town and all its features and are glad you moved.

What do you miss from the old internet?
A click got a page.
Now you see spinny things getting content, the page jumps around, your mouse causes pop-ups to appear or the page to jump around even more. You start reading and the sentence is suddenly teleported to somewhere else.
But apart from that I love the new internet!
