When I first got windows 10, I hated it. Then time went on and my hate flowered into a deep loathing. When it was time to say goodbye, I thought about all the times I hated that OS.
yup. Windows 10 made me switch to Linux. About twice a year, always a couple times a year, for whatever reason Windows 10 would essentially kill my wifi card on my laptop. reinstalling drivers didn't work, physically unplugging the card from the mobo and plugging it back in didn't work. nothing worked. the ONLY thing that would work? reinstalling the entire OS. I had to do this twice a year. they'd release some update and just nuke the wifi card.
So finally I decided to give Linux a go cause I had enough. been using Linux ever since. and the thing with Linux is that it made me fall back in love with using the computer again. with tinkering and customizing and everything. made me fall back in love with my development work because of the sheer ease of doing dev stuff on linux especially with NixOS. playing around with various configs and modules and what have you is fun. maintaining random packages is fun. hell even just maintaining my nixos git repo is fun. It's a blast.
