Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

Grew up om mac os, switched to windows about 10 years ago. Switched to Linux this summer.

The first distro that stuck was Manjaro... But the instability became too much of a pita and a risk. Found Garuda Moca amd I'm very happy with the experience. Mostly used for gaming.

I'm never going back to the windows side of my dual boot & should probably reclaim the space. Damn malware hyjacks my bios and trys to start & grab updates every once & a while.

Spouse is working on a private cloud server & once its up I will walk backwards out of the corop data theif hell I inhabit now with both birds blazing.
