- | I moved to Ubuntu from Windows about seven years ago and I always regret that I did not start sooner. So, I installed Ubuntu in dual-boot beside Windows. At first, I was still dependent on Windows and frequently switched between Windows and Ubuntu since it was difficult to become adapted to the new software and environment. To overcome this issue, I decided to install and use most of the software of the Ubuntu environment in Windows 7 (those that could be installed on Windows). Consequently, | + | **I moved to Ubuntu from Windows about seven years ago and I always regret that I did not start sooner. So, I installed Ubuntu in dual-boot beside Windows.

After a period of working with Ubuntu, which applied Unity as their desktop, I transferred to Linux Mint with the pretty Cinnamon desktop. I tried KDE but found it too ‘fantasy’ for my activities. | After a period of working with Ubuntu, which applied Unity as their desktop, I transferred to Linux Mint with the pretty Cinnamon desktop.

- | From the scientific point of view, as I work in the world of High Performance Computing (HPC), Image Processing, and Data Mining, I found the Linux very profound and attractive in these areas. My first HPC system was a combination of a real Ubuntu, installed on my laptop, and a virtual Ubuntu installed on an Oracle VirtualBox machine. Utilizing this, I could install HPC packages and test some applications which taught me HPC for the least price.

My whole master thesis was done in Ubuntu using MATLAB, and some some parts of it using Octave and Scilab. My thesis text also is written and edited in LibreOffice Writer. Actually, I forced myself to do my writings in LibreOffice to kill two birds with one stone: first, obviously doing my job, and second, become a master in LibreOffice writer which I appreciate very much. As my master thesis was related to image processing, the images were prepared for papers and documents using Gimp and Draw. | My whole master thesis was done in Ubuntu using MATLAB, and some some parts of it using Octave and Scilab.

Currently, I teach courses such as Operating System (Laboratory) and Programming Languages at university, and always encourage students to use Linux as their main operating system if they want to gain a better understanding of how a computer works and what are the main concepts of a computer. They should do their assignments in Linux, and on the most convenient distro – which I think is Ubuntu or the distros that are based on it such as Mint. | Currently, I teach courses such as Operating System (Laboratory) and Programming Languages at university, and always encourage students to use Linux as their main operating system if they want to gain a better understanding of how a computer works and what are the main concepts of a computer.
