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

Because Windows XP was a hot pile of garbage.
One day, my network driver broke. None of the discs worked. None of those incoherent “wizards” Windows loves to use worked. Reinstalling Windows broke more things. I couldn’t get online for about 2 months.
One day I was at the bookstore and saw a Fedora Core book with an OS disc. I thought it was cool so I convinced mom to get it. Went home, blundered my way through the install and everything just worked.
I cannot for the life of me understand how XP is routinely loved by everyone. It looked like a muddy fisher-price toybox.
If you had spent any time with Windows ME at all, XP is as big a jump as the move from XP to Fedora (with the caveat that the bar was much lower, of course)
I had used 95, 98, and 2000 at that point. All of which I mostly enjoyed. Me I used in my grandmothers computer and yeah…it was rubbish.
However I’d say it was less of a “Big leap” and more of a “Quick give us something that’s almost as good as 9x!”
