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

Well, “why” is just curiosity and wanting to explore new things. I had been learning some programming on Windows, but had heard rumblings about linux. I explored Red Hat, wasn’t wowed. It was fine, but not enough to lure me away. That was 26 yrs ago.
14 yrs ago, I created a dual boot on my laptop, with Ubuntu/Gnome. After about 2 yrs, I made Ubuntu my daily. A windows auto update tried to wipe linux off my drive, so I put Windows in jail, shrunk the partition as small as I could, and removed it from the boot sequence. I don’t distro hop, I used Ubuntu until earlier this year. It was always good enough, never awesome, but i learned things and felt a whole lote more secure than on windows.
About 6 months ago, I switched to Fedora/KDE. I’m sure I could find lots of benefits to other distros, but I never felt much need to shop around. BTW, I absolutely love Fedora /KDE in a way I never felt about Ubuntu. Maybe it’s just KDE vs Gnome. It just feels so much more comfortable.
