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’ve been using linux at work for years, but never installed a distro at home to replace my desktop before.
Switched to linux mint at home last autumn and had 0 issues and love it!
To be fair I knew my way around Debian already, but using linux with a desktop environment to replace my home setup posed some challenges that simply originate from being used to windows at home.
I went with Linux Mint because I wanted my home desktop to work with minimal fiddling and I’m still really happy!
Edit: words.
yeah i need to stick to a distribution longer. all the hopping (i didnt do much but still) is precious time lost.
Well atleast you know for certain what you like :)
I would be curious to try other distros, but I’m way too happy with Linux Mint. Maybe one day :)
