I’ve been almost-ready to ditch Windows for years. Now’s the time.
My new neighbor is an old-school nerd. He hosts install parties at our local leftist third space.
He’s going to help me switch to… not sure yet. Probably Mint. I can’t wait. It feels as good as never giving a cent to Amazon, Uber, and streaming services.
Yay.


2 years ago when I started my switch I tried ~10 distros and then did a prolonged test of about 2 months for each of the 2 distros that were the closest to being perfect out of the box and settled on Bazzite.
I wish you a happy journey and if you don’t like one flavor don’t ditch Pizza, there are many more flavors to try and one of them surely will become your favorite.
Oh wow, that’s some serious dedication. Have you ever written out your experience?
No, I don’t believe it’s of any worth, as experiences will vary depending on user preferences and hardware. What would be the value of content like that?
But yeah, I was adamant about switching. I knew I would ditch Windows. I forced it down on my self to such a degree that I had to learn how to work (while working) without the tools I used for ~20 years like Adobe for example. I freaking love Inkscape and gimp is the most unintuitive piece of software on my PC.
Even if it’s subjective and reliant on the used hardware, if we had enough of these reports, they would become very valuable as patterns would inevitably show up.
But, I’m afraid we’re past the point in which you can reliably and vividly recollect the whole experience 😅.
