Why did you switch to Linux? I’d like to hear your story.

Btw I switched (from win11 to arch) because I got bored and wanted a challenge. Thx :3

    I was not about to put up with windows co-pilot or recall and had already put up with enough ads and bugs.

    I had been running Debian on my laptop for a year without a problem and then finally Windows 11 started doing this when I was trying to update:

    Click check for updates? Same result. Wait a week and try again? Same result.

    I could no longer trust that the OS was secure from even 3rd parties, so I pulled the trigger and installed Debian 12 - later upgrading to Debian 13 when it released.

    There just is never any going back now - Linux is just waaaaaaay too good.

    Now I just need something similar to happen with phones.

      Yes, we need new OSes in Mobile segment too… As Android is going to close the doors and make every application to be loaded only through Play store.
