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

Started with slack, hopped around for a few years as new distros began to pop up. Stopped using Gnome after... We'll call it a philosophical disagreement with a Gnome developer. The main issue persists, so I still won't use it.

Eventually landed back on Debian, and I stay there with a mix of Debian based (proxmox), Debian stable, and one box running Sid for testing/reporting issues. I have two "main" desktops, deb stable and arch.

Most have no GUI, except for my main desktopss, a laptop, and the one running Sid, all are KDE.

I'm pretty well settled on the Debian side, arch is a more recent bit of fun. I may move the arch box to something else at some point, but the Debian boxes are basically here to stay.
