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

    Windows 95/98 sucked shit. I liked the games, but the kernels were terrible.

    I dual booted or ran two machines Linux (RedHat 5.2 to 6.2, wtf was up with 7?), then whatever worked (usually Debian based) for a while. Mostly used Linux alone for years, but used Win7 for a bit. That one was okay, but Microsoft can’t build dev tools on their own OS to save their lives.

    It’s been Linux Mint for a long time now on desktops and Debian/Armbian on servers.

    Basically, I’ve been mainlining Linux since about '97 and it’s doing me just fine. Works great for my kids and wife. We’re a mostly Linux household. It saves me a ton of headaches. Easy to install, patch, and almost no other maintenance.
