Ditto... just yesterday I went all in and wiped my drive to put Mint on, decided not to bother with a halfway house or dual booting.

Apart from some minor hardware driver issues, so far so good!

    I switched over about… I suppose 2 and a half years ago now? Honestly it’s been a lot easier to use. Like it’s kind of shocking to me that people will act like windows is cohesive and better put together. Every time I interact with it these days, the more it looks like a taped together ball of junk crusted over with 30 years of repainting.

    Like the fact that with windows I had to go to three separate settings programs to find the right toggle, that every program has a dedicated installer and its own path for updates. That there are just default always on programs running in the background eating up a 1/4 of the ram and two of my CPU cores for no damn reason. That a laptop will randomly wake up inside a bag when it should be asleep and run down its battery over 6 hours of trying to connect to an absent WiFi network to run updates.
