After learning Linux for several years, I finally completed my total switching for all my PCs and servers. Why I switched to Linux and you may also want to do it - 2025 version and windows 11 is a pain
Switch to Linux is easy, however to achieve the same productivity level is hard and needs efforts and learning, especially when I get used to softwares on windows for 15 years . The biggest problem I encountered was usually find alternative softwares that just works and almost as good as on Windows, and have it fit into my existing daily work flow.
So after like 3 years of learning and learning, now I'm using Artix Linux comfortably on my desktop and CachyOS on my laptop. I feel using Windows is such a pain. My goal would be destroy windows in every pc I can touch on and trying to teach the owner to use Linux isntead, Linux mint would be the choice for newbies. I wish I started with Linux mint, but I started with Ubuntu then Arch.
Windows has been such a pain now, it has became a total spyware and windows 11 is full of bugs, telemetry, forcing the user to upgrade OS, forcing the user to purchase new PC, even forcing you to have edge auto started, use the MS Store, forcing reboot, etc etc (macos is no good either, but apple's recent chip is very good, money is super power)
Today I tried installing Windows 11 24H2 on a Lenovo laptop, it supposed to be reliable and stable now since Windows 10 support ends:
