Come to the dark side, we have cute penguins.
I always wanted to use Linux, so it wasn’t really anything that Windows did that drove me away, it was more I could finally play the games I wanted to when Windows 11 came out and needing to change my bios settings to upgrade was enough of a nudge for me to say fuck it.
Windows 11 made it so you can’t move the taskbar to the side anymore either.
Knoppix in like 2006! The first one I installed was Fedora Core 4 though, my mom got disks for it and rhel in her school textbooks.
Now I use Arch on most things.
