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.

    The telemetry and ads baked into windows. I’m so sick of ads creeping into every corner of my life

        I switched because after every Windows update they reset some settings and installed tiktok icons.

        Also, when i blocked OS from pinging home every time i clicked start, it made windows freak out to a point where it affected PC performance.

        I am tired of being treated like a cattle as paying customer.

        PopOS was free and respects its users…
