This post is basically to encourage people to check Linux out. What is stopping you from ditching Microsoft?

Edit: I forgot to mention this but if someone is looking for a recommendation for a Linux distribution then I'd personally recommend Manjaro KDE or just any of the popular distributions with KDE Plasma as the Desktop Environment really. Edit 2: For those who might be looking for more stability and don't need to have the most up to date software I'd recommend Kubuntu.

    I've been using Linux for about a decade now and my daily driver for 7ish years. I did start leaving my desktop in windows but I mostly use it for games so no point in switching back and forth. Even my TV is using ubuntu in the form of an old laptop in clamshell mode.

    I get extremely frustrated when I have to fix an issue on windows or mac because every support article is a braindead company support line asking you to turn it off and on, where as linux support is knowledgeable forums that know how to fix your problem rather that go "lol ur screwed, just reinstall"

        The bar is higher but a lot of solutions are pretty copy and paste and if you look up a few terms each time to understand it, you suddenly know how to use a linux system. You can't say the same as much for fixing windows.
