Probably like many of you i switched to Linux. I first used it in 2012 when i heard about it in School. Back then i used Ubuntu, but could not figure it out how to play my Games on CD, DVDs and Steam so i switched back to Windows.
Over the Years i often tried it out again but had various problems with it.
Now, thanks to the Trump Donald, i have a real reason to no longer use Microshaft Proudcts. Our Boycott!
So far i tried Linux Mint, KDE Neon, Kubuntu, ZorinOS, PopOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Gnu Guix, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Antergos. That is over 10 years.
What i found out:
- i dont like gnome, i find the ui weird. xfce is too cobbled together imo and ugly, lxqt too.
- i like kde and budgie
- im currently on kubuntu and gnu guix :)
Linux is kind of hard coming from windows, but i wont switch back now. It is more than just using a OS, it is now a mindset: more independent Europa! Maybe i will even switch to OSS that is made by European Firms and Developers, afterall if i donate i want my money to stay in Europa.
I have really enjoyed my switch to linux. I chose mint for ease of use and all in all it was really doable and man I love Linux. I have switched a month ago and going back to a windows device already feels like a horrible experience. All the pop ups, the feeling of helplessness that you feel when your Windows breaks and it fact makes your system so damn slow. I am a computer science student tho so I have a fair bit of affinity with tech and don’t mind tinkering with my OS. Which made switching a breeze but im confident that anyone with google and a bit of free time can switch. Cannot recommend switching more :)
