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 :)

Linux is kind of hard coming from windows, but i wont switch back now. It is more than just using a OS, it is now a mindset: more independent Europa! Maybe i will even switch to OSS that is made by European Firms and Developers, afterall if i donate i want my money to stay in Europa.

If you get tired of having an immutable distro, try Garuda, it’s where I ended up after Bazzite. It’s been super easy and has a lot built in for gaming.

Also using Garuda and I will stick with it. I am having issues with Wayland gaming but plan a switch of my aging 1080’s to a 9070 soonish.

I will stay for now unless I find something that doesn’t work out for me. So far so good but I will note Garuda as another candidate.
