I’ll come right out and say that if you are a Linux person you know that this isn’t Windows or a Mac. You aren’t hidden from everything like those OSs try to do, and if you ARE trying to install and work with Ubuntu that is WHY you use this OS. The analogy of stick shift or automatic still works, and those that love shift stick do so for the control that they have. If you want to take back that control, this book will help show you the way!!
