Why did you switch to Linux? I’d like to hear your story.

Btw I switched (from win11 to arch) because I got bored and wanted a challenge. Thx :3

    Came from windows laptop that I got about a year ago, before then I was running unironically chrome os. I liked chrome os for it’s Linux features. So when I did go from my Chromebook to a windows, it wasn’t as fun. I also didn’t like all the spyware on windows, and this was the time when I was removing myself from the internet as if I didn’t exist, So it was inevitable I would switch.

    The only reason why I haven’t switched earlier is because I am a university student (currently in electrical engineering) and I was concerned that I would be given an exotic application that my laptop cannot support on Linux. Then I learned the majority of students have macbooks, so if it doesn’t work for me it doesn’t work for them too. That’s when I made the conscious decision to switch from windows to Linux.

    Currently trying out fedora workstation, it is like the Mac os of Linux operating systems (and that’s a compliment).
