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'm on Linux Mint since a couple of years. It took me some time to set it up and I don't understand how you guys distrohop so casually. I'm not a huge customizer, but it takes me days to install apps, connect network drives, change settings and synchronize accounts!?
But I love Linux and I will not go back. I make music with Bitwig, edit video with DaVinci Resolve, pictures in Gimp, LibreOffice, Evolution, Syncthing, it's all great! I ran into some minor hickups and challenges but managed to fix them reading on the internet. Yet I still feel like there is so much I don't understand. Managed to play some games, my Nvidia was never a problem. But I'm not a huge gamer so this wasn't a stress test. Flatpak is cool but updates are huge, a couple of GB every couple of days. I'd like to try an unmutable distro but I'm too scared to set it up and learn about it, never change a running system. So I'll stick with Mint for now. :)
