Even though I preferred XP or 7 back then, 10 was still a pretty good OS… until they started forcing updates. I didn’t have a broadband or WiFi connection back then and windows would end up eating all my limited monthly data downloading updates when all I wanted to do was check emails and browse the internet.
Eventually I had enough and just took the plunge to start using Debian Linux, which I still use to this day. The first few months were rough but it doesn’t feel too different from early XP days where you had to look up and perform troubleshooting yourself.
And ever since Steam started work on Proton, Wine now runs almost everything that is windows-only. I don’t see myself changing OS back and if not for work I would never have used Windows 11.
Switched to Linux last year after I finally had enough with the Windows and haven’t looked back since. Was a little difficult getting used to things in the beginning but didn’t really face any problems after the initial hiccup for maybe a month with a lot of looking up to learn new things. Fedora and Nobara was a good start for my gaming rig but currently running Nixos now on both gaming rig and laptop which I am very happy with as I really fancy the concept and like messing with the config. Installed Mint on my sister’s old laptop and Debian on my aunt’s old PC. Both are great but for me, Debian is the most sexy option with Plasma and additional features that comes from KDE. Have no choice but to use Windows 11 on my work laptop tho, send me job offers if you got any.
