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 tired of windows pretending it knew better than me what i wanted, whether that was updates or security scans or fuck knows what else.

    The final straw was when they shitted up the start menu with garbage and tried to shove their app store down my throat. At that point i was done.

        yeah it’s absolutely ridiculous. Whoever decided that the start menu, of all things, needed to be encrusted with garbage should have been fired on the spot.

            The sad thing is, they probably did get a bonus, then set about how to further monetize it
