    I stopped caring. When my GF bought a laptop I just installed Linux there and she has no issues using it. Linux is where I always wanted it to be. Now when I see someone using Windows I just think “you poor soul” to myself and move on.

    That was me about 22 years ago already. I’ve had a Linux desktop for 22 years and anytime I see a windows desktop I’m just wondering why anyone would accept such trash…

    There are way way too many testimonials here lately about switching to Linux or installing Arch, etc. These aren’t interesting.

      I’d be more interested in knowing how many people are sticking with Linux.

      What issues besides insert windows program doesn’t work.

      Places where the average switcher has problems that aren’t just user error or misunderstanding some fundamental difference, but good places that the community can investigate and improve on.

    I’m forced to use windows in my career life… But I moved to Linux entirely at home back in 05-06.

    I have a work Windows laptop that I refer to as my time machine. If not for having to use it for time sheets, email, word, and PowerPoint fun I’d kick the habit all together.

    Hell yeah I am. I’ve been using linux since 2019. I bought a dell laptop and installed manjaro.

    I recently discovered GNU Guix and decided to install it onto an old desktop (built in 2009) I had laying around. I used a system crafters custom installer and the accompanying video to do a non-libre kernel install. I’ve been liking Guix and I think I’m going to install it onto my laptop and make it my daily driver.

    Yep. Windows XP was my last Windows and when it became obsolete I permanently switched to Linux Mint (without dual-booting). Everything that I use has worked very well. I’ve never even thought about switching back to Windows.

    I wish. Unfortunately I’m to locked into Ableton to switch. Wish they’d make it compatible with Linux :/

      You’re a nicer person than I am. Being able to (lie and) say “no clue how that works on windows, I use linux” is a freaking blessing

    Unfortunately, I can’t be. None of my creative tools work on Linux, and the alternatives all have less functionality and/or a steeper learning curve.
