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 had first attempts with openSuse about a decade ago on my laptop. I didnt use it regluarly though so often when booting up i had to reinstall the latest version as my current one wasnt supported anymore.

Fast forward to my new PC as my old ones GPU failed after 12 years and MS already thought under Windows 10 that RAM should only be gobbled up by windows.

I bought a new laptop to replace the PC and bought it w.o. a Windows licencse. I installed an Arch based Distro and well it works. Took some tinkering to get the GPU running well, but nothing in comparision to what i did on Windows to get keep my old GPU alive for a few more weeks.
