why did you switch? - lemm.ee

Hey everyone, I am exploring switching over to Linux but I would like to know why people switch. I have Windows 11 rn. I dont do much code but will be doing some for school. I work remote and go to school remote. My career is not TOO technical. What benefits caused you to switch over and what surprised you when you made the switch? Thank you all in advanced.

These days, Windows constantly gets in your way with ads, forced updates, crappy apps that install themselves, useless features like Cortana, forcing you to make a Microsoft account, etc. Linux or the BSDs, however, usually give you a bullshit-free and distraction-free experience. Plus, no spyware, completely free, endlessly customizable, and low resource usage (if you use a lightweight setup, but even “bloated” distros like Ubuntu and Mint are often light compared to Windows).
Word is Microsoft quietly killed Cortana, so Windows has that going for it now!
Windows still got 99 problems, but that bitch ain’t one.

I was around when Clippy died. Fuck that bent piece of recycled pop can.

Then they gave us Cortana.

Just wait till they bring it back, now powered by Chat GPT!
