I made the switch around this time last year and haven’t looked back. A few things have taken a bit of effort to figure out, but largely it has been a breeze. I should’ve done this many years earlier.

    Thats my exact thing on Linux. It has “issues” but theyre fricken fixable. And they won’t happen again, likely. With windows its way harder to fix anything if it won’t work beyond the “close and reopen again” technique and then if you do fix it a damn update breaks it again!!! Plus the bloat and spyware, ick.

      then if you do fix it a damn update breaks it again!

      Just fixed a fairly common issue with Windows Update on my wife’s W11 machine. Stuck at 99% forever. All you need to do is terminate the Windows Update process and try it again, or delete a cache somewhere.

      Want Windows’ “official” advice if you’re “having trouble”?

      Try reinstalling Windows . 😂 ROFL

      Plus the bloat and spyware, ick.

      I was also quite unnerved when the “location data” task item came up on startup, and listed Windows Explorer as using it for a second. Sorry what? Wtf does Explorer need location data for?

      So happy to go back to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I want to convert some family members’ computers too when I finally get a chance for it.
