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 usually say that, but still poke at it until I figure out how hard the problem is:

    • If I can easily figure out how to fix the problem, I will fix
    • If I know what the problem is but can’t figure out how to fix it, they get a free diagnosis followed by “idk how to fix that on your device”
    • If I got no clue what is going on, I tell them that I have no clue what’s going on. I occasionally reccomend ritual magic, like leaving citrine/quartz under the monitor or letting the computer sit overnight in the light of the moon. It works sometimes ig?

    Tbh the only reason I can get away with the free help is that I live a slow-paced life and usually only speak to 2-5 different people each day
