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.

    Fedora KDE or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed KDE. I like the fact that OpenSUSE is not based in the USA, but I don’t like how it requires root to be an active user with a password (I prefer a disabled root account and sudo or similar kind of privilege escalation system like everyone else does).

    VR support is still ultra jank.

    Still haven’t gotten a reliable replacement to Parsec.

    Nothing says pain like trying to convert a word doc or excel spreadsheet with formatting tables and the like into LibreOffice.

    All the Space Engineers in Proton how-to docs are very old and out of date, and don’t work with the modern setups.
