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

I started using Linux on and off a little before starting college, almost 20 years ago. For studying and working (I'm an IT engineer) was a very robust solution and I saw things getting better within time for the non initiated.

On a personal level, however, I was still on the Windows side mostly for gaming. Luckily enough, when my gaming laptop was forced to update to Windows 11 and problems started, I knew a distro hopping journey was about to begin.

I tried focusing mostly on gaming, but I also needed some general purpose tools. I started with Mint but oddly enough, it didn't suit me well. I was thinking about Kubuntu, but before that, I tried Nobara and, out of nostalgia, openSuse Tumbleweed (openSuse was my first distro ever)

Thing is that I haven't had a reason yet to switch again. All my games from Steam run like a breeze, so for now I just focus on enjoying and evangelizing people to make the switch.
