Made the switch to Ubuntu in 2019. The only time I use windows is at work, sadly, but in my main computer, that malware hasn't been installed for years

I started using linux a few months ago after a longer break. It's so smooth and i hardly ever use windows. There are some niche things that don't support linux, and some need a bunch of workarounds. I don't even think linux needs to improve more, but i do hope comparability is going up

I started to enjoy my Ubuntu install after I gave up on the idea of using my computer for tinkering or work.

I just use it for the browser and steam nowadays. Also I did my thesis fully in Ubuntu with libreoffice but that's the last professional stuff I did with it, aside from some programming.

Nowadays it just works xd
