What was the last version of Windows you used before hopping on over? This includes the Linux greybeards too.

I was on Win10 but moved over as the end of life cycle is drawing near and I do not like Win11 at all.

Another thing for this change was the forced bloody updates, bro I just wanna shut down my PC and go to bed, if I wanna update it, I’ll do it on a Saturday morning with my coffee or something.

Lastly, all the bloat crap they chuck in on there that most users don’t really need. I think the only thing I kept was the weather program.

So what’s your reasoning for the change to the reliable and funni penguin OS?

    Windows 98.

    Switched to Debian. Needed to dial up on the command line. Awesome but sucked at the same time.

    Soon switched to Red Hat. Meh.

    Quickly switched to Mandrake, back when they had the yellow star logo. Was Ok.

    Then switched to (Open)SuSE. Stayed with it for a few years. Was good. Even had an account on the wiki etc

    Then switched Ubuntu. Wow - finally a distro that worked out of the box. Remember, that was before all the Ubuntu Pro and snap bullshit. Still on it because when it works it works, but when the current LTS goes out of support, I’m off to Mint or similar, haven’t decided yet.
