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.

    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.
