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.

    When Windows decided to auto update in the middle of an important meeting without any prompt;
    when I download files overnight and the fan takes off at midnight by its telemetry process;
    when it gives me a full screen ad trying to change my system settings and stops me from entering the system on time;
    when the system starts to integrate with ads from the browser to the taskbar.
    It’s not because how good Linux is, it’s because how bad Windows has become.

    So I left after my little checklist of must-to-haves is fulfilled. With no regrets.
