Probably like many of you i switched to Linux. I first used it in 2012 when i heard about it in School. Back then i used Ubuntu, but could not figure it out how to play my Games on CD, DVDs and Steam so i switched back to Windows.
Over the Years i often tried it out again but had various problems with it.
Now, thanks to the Trump Donald, i have a real reason to no longer use Microshaft Proudcts. Our Boycott!
So far i tried Linux Mint, KDE Neon, Kubuntu, ZorinOS, PopOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Gnu Guix, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Antergos. That is over 10 years.
What i found out:
- i dont like gnome, i find the ui weird. xfce is too cobbled together imo and ugly, lxqt too.
- i like kde and budgie
- im currently on kubuntu and gnu guix :)
Im too much distrohopping bevause of small annoyances. its not a good time spent! lol
The adventure has been going on for quite a while: I started with a cheap thinclient and Proxmox in order to replace the underpowered Raspi4. Then bought a new, cheap thinclient to replace the thinclient I was running windows on. The idea was to kill the windows PC, get a more powerful main desktop with Linux and use the old windows one as another Proxmox client. I haven’t had the time to do that, but I now have a Windows machine with Office, cracked Photoshop, Fusion360 etc. installed and a main linux device. Haven’t booted up the windows computer in 3 months.
And gaming works totally great on the SteamDeck. Recently installed the Wii/WiiU/Switch emulators, which is really awesome
