I get the feeling that Lemmy has a relatively higher concentration of Linux users. I’m preparing to move over to Linux when I build my new computer. I already put Linux Mint Cinnamon edition on one of my old laptops and I like it quite a bit. I figure that since I’ve been wanting to switch over for years, I should just do it. The games were the thing holding me back, and Proton seems to have taken care of that(I don’t really play multiplayer games that require anticheat… I’m a singleplayer kind of girl).
For me, anyway, I want to switch because Windows has been creeping me out with its telemetry. Windows 11 looks lousy, and I’d have to jump through some hoops to get my old hardware on 11, anyway.
I’m currently dusting off the old curiosity I left behind in college, and got a dedicated Linux Mint OS set up on a spare laptop, and currently getting caught up on all the years of changes since I last poked around with Linux in my spare time. Helps I now work for a firm that has an actual use for Linux, instead of being told repeatedly that I couldn’t get a job if i kept studying it by my old college advisor.
