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.

    Windows is just constantly trying to distract you from work. It’s slow, hogs resources, kills my battery.

    After tinkering a lot I have found a workflow that works great for me on Linux and I couldn’t have found that with windows.

    To be honest though. To switch to Linux I’d say you’d have a reason. If you don’t work a techy job and don’t plan on doing so and don’t have much interest in it, you’d just have an easier time with windows.

    But let me tell you once you go into Linux with an open mind and willingness to learn, you’ll love it.
