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 :)
Im too much distrohopping bevause of small annoyances. its not a good time spent! lol
Switched 14 years ago and never looked back. When friends ask me for help with their windows machines I’m astounded how bad it’s gotten. Advertisements, forced tracking, forced account registration, dark patterns. Back in my day™️ people mostly switched for the performance and stability. Windows is no longer an operating system but an excuse to sell value-added services.
