No regrets switching to Linux 39 ▲ Greg Boone 52 days ago · Tech · hide · 3 comments I have a hypothesis that Linux and EVs have a similar characteristic: Once you switch, you’ll never want to go back. Nathan Edwards in The Verge: It didn’t take long for my Linux install to stop feeling new and exciting and start feeling like, well, my computer. It’s not exactly like a less annoying version of Windows, though it is less annoying than Windows, but it’s been a much easier transition than I thought it would be. There are a few extra steps sometimes in finding and installing apps — usually it’s easier than in Windows, and occasionally it’s harder. And there are a few apps I still haven’t been able to replicate in Linux. I’ve also had a smattering of fun bugs, and a few genuinely frustrating moments, but the overall experience is a lot calmer and more robust than I expected. Even troubleshooting is (mostly) satisfying in a weird way. That’s largely been my experience switching from a mainly Mac existence, too.

I went back for partially and also had to make special modifications, specifically only allow security updates because new packages kept breaking my GPU driver setup. Not to mention some WiFi issues I had in the past.Now I dual boot with Windows for games but everything productive is on Linux.

It's way easier now to find apps than ever before.
