Hey everyone,

I am exploring switching over to Linux but I would like to know why people switch. I have Windows 11 rn.

I dont do much code but will be doing some for school. I work remote and go to school remote. My career is not TOO technical.

What benefits caused you to switch over and what surprised you when you made the switch?

Thank you all in advanced.

    I got a new pc and decided to try out Mint, I way daily driving it for about 2-3 months but than I needed to use some windows software and I did not yet know about the existence of wine so I installed windows 10. But then my windows 10 install blue screened after a few months and it wasn’t fixable. Luckily, i had a backup but windows refused to recognize it so I said fuck it and switched to back to Linux mint. I have been using it for about 6 months but some packages started breaking, I wanted to try out KDE (I was using Cinnamon) and I was lazy to do it all so I switched to Artix about a week ago. That’s basically it.
