Originally drafted 3/14

When I participated in MLH’s Cloud Week, I found myself interacting with the Windows and Linux command lines more than ever before. When I say Windows, I mean a combination of Windows PowerShell and Command Prompt, and when I say Linux, I mean Ubuntu via WSL. I noticed many differences in the learning curve that I wanted to talk about. This isn’t my answer to “Why do some people prefer Linux over Windows?”. It is my answer to “Why do I prefer Linux over Windows?” Anyway, here are my thoughts.

What is aleguy02.dev

I love video games. My first system was a PS2, where I played the crap out of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (the side-scroller version) and loved it because I didn’t know there was a better version outhere. Then, I had a Wii, then an Xbox, before finally getting a laptop where I played Minecraft; here, the username aleguy02 born. Fast-forward many years, I started coding and before long found myself in need of a GitHub username. It felt right to use a moniker I had a history with, so aleguy02 it was. Since then, I’ve been using aleguy02 as my identity when doing anything programming. aleguy02.dev is a web server I set up for me to learn and practice my skills.
