    I switched a few years ago. I’ve been using windows for over 30 years. They changed a bunch of random shit I had used in the past. I figured I’d give it a shot.

    I never went back. I’m not a coder. I don’t even like tech very much. I’ve been really happy with Ubuntu for years.

    I wanted something that just worked. It has.

      I installed Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad and made it my main work computer. It is the most boring computing experience ever. Nothing ever breaks. It just works.

        I’m surprised how well my thinkpad was supported in the Fedora plasma spin. Everything just worked out of the box. No drivers were needed. Even the fingerprint reader works.

        I thought it would just be for login, but even terminal will use it when I need to sudo.

        How awesome!

        It’s been my daily driver for years now. The two computers os have literally never failed, no software issues other than some bugs I myself introduced.

      The Steam Deck was the reason I changed. Used the Deck as my only PC for a couple of months and liked the experience so I changed.

      I’ve had OpenSUSE on my PC for over a year now and really like it… But I’ll be honest, the move and troubleshooting problems for setup was a pain in the ass. But it’s stable and steady since I’ve gotten over setup pains.
