How is your Linux Adventure going? (lemm.ee)

Probably like many of you i switched to Linux. I first used it in 2012 when i heard about it in School. Back then i used Ubuntu, but could not figure it out how to play my Games on CD, DVDs and Steam so i switched back to Windows.

Over the Years i often tried it out again but had various problems with it.

Now, thanks to the Trump Donald, i have a real reason to no longer use Microshaft Proudcts. Our Boycott!

So far i tried Linux Mint, KDE Neon, Kubuntu, ZorinOS, PopOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Gnu Guix, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Antergos. That is over 10 years.

What i found out:

i dont like gnome, i find the ui weird. xfce is too cobbled together imo and ugly, lxqt too.
i like kde and budgie
im currently on kubuntu and gnu guix :)

Im too much distrohopping bevause of small annoyances. its not a good time spent! lol

I think I've been using Linux for something like 20 years now. And Free Software (in general) has given me a lot of useful tools and nice things. Though it felt a lot more like an adventure to me when I was young. It still sometimes does, but I don't think I spend that much time distro hopping and messing with application software and games these days. And a lot of things got easier. I feel it has always been the best option for me. I know my way around, my computer works most of the times and I'm able to do stuff with it. Occasionally I'll have a look at other people's computers and fix their printers or little woes and I'm always glad I don't use those kinds of operating systems on my machines... 😅
