If you’re already with Linux, this is not for you. This is for people who’re indecisive or been contemplating for long about whether to make that jump.
For me, it’s a matter of a few things. I’m on a Windows 10 version that guarantees me until 2032 of support. That means I would effectively skip Windows 11, like I already mostly have and potentially skip Windows 12 if that turns out to be a shitty choice. I’d be coming in right in time for whatever Microslop shits out for Win13.
Should Windows 13 suck, I think that’s a consideration. Another consideration is when Valve keeps dropping support for certain Windows versions of Steam. Because I know for a fact they will drop Windows 10 support entirely one day and then Windows 11. I believe it is really stupid that they do this.
By the time my Windows 10 version expires, I’d be getting older, which means I’ll probably care less and less about computer-related things. Going to Linux wouldn’t be a problem since I’d be doing barebones things like browsing and checking e-mail.
And I’d also hope that by 2032, Linux would have better development like easier access to proprietary drivers and software among other things.
I have touched the registry like once, and that was just to disable windows updates. It’s not something I do.
The thing is that Linux is literally designed for coders in mind, it surely comes off that way. I’m not comfortable having to type these weird long-winded commands to do everything.
It was never the case with windows, it’s incredibly intuitive and linear. The amount of time taken to do anything on windows is practically always much lesser on windows compared to Linux necessarily.
Best example is setup installation files. One tap, everything is installed automatically. Not the case with Linux.
