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.
Same here, I heard about the reliability of Unix while enduring Windows 95’s appalling crashes.
Last month I finally moved my wife’s Windows 10 laptop to Endeavor OS. She recognizes that her unusable laptop is now snappy and stable.
My house is now officially Microsoft-free.
