why did you switch? in c/[email protected]

My reasons:

  • You can completely customize linux to your liking. In win it is hard to customize even such a basic thing as keybindings.
  • You can fully control what is installed, win had tons of stuff, that cannot be uninstalled.
  • Things like proprietary software, telemetry etc. is opt-in, no need to deal with windows spying on you for example
  • System is leaner, less bloated (you can fill it with processes if that is what you need ofc)
  • Dev environment is a lot more comfy than linux

The biggest downside:

  • Gaming is rough around the edge, even though it gets better and better.
