I started using Linux on and off a little before starting college, almost 20 years ago. For studying and working (I'm an IT engineer) was a very robust solution and I saw things getting better within time for the non initiated.
On a personal level, however, I was still on the Windows side mostly for gaming. Luckily enough, when my gaming laptop was forced to update to Windows 11 and problems started, I knew a distro hopping journey was about to begin.
I tried focusing mostly on gaming, but I also needed some general purpose tools. I started with Mint but oddly enough, it didn't suit me well. I was thinking about Kubuntu, but before that, I tried Nobara and, out of nostalgia, openSuse Tumbleweed (openSuse was my first distro ever)
Thing is that I haven't had a reason yet to switch again. All my games from Steam run like a breeze, so for now I just focus on enjoying and evangelizing people to make the switch.
