ifn't
One of the modules in a project I'm working on is called VulkanOrDie which always makes me crack up when I see it in the compilation messages.
what caused you to get into Linux?
Windows 8 taking away the skeumorphic, frutiger aero theme for a plain boring flat theme as well as going with a very anti-desktop look with the start menu. I still haven't gone back to Windows and probably never will for my personal computer (work computer is different) since I don't see them ever bringing back the fun Vista and 7 look.
