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
Started testing Linux OS around 2003. Never really commited, until late 2020, where I removed Windows and switch to Arch Linux full-time.
Now, after 4 years of Arch, I switched to Fedora Workstation. I kinda miss the Arch repos and the AUR, but Fedora is doing a lot of work that I would have had to do myself on Arch.
Well, you gotta sacrifice something to gain something. Equivalent exchange and stuff.
Maybe something arch based works for you, like Manjaro or Endeavour. You will have Arch repos, but those distros come with some nice features to make your life easier.
