  • I started trying out Linux a few years ago, on a few different computers. Well first, a really long time ago, but I was a Mac user for a long time, and then switched to Windows in 2018, so my modern Linux experience started in 2021 or so.

    On my home PC I started with Mint, but because I was doing some programming, ran into problems because the compilers and CMake there were too old to compile a few things I needed to work on (CUDA was the problem for CMake, C++20 was the problem for the compilers). Switched to Tumbleweed, was happy with that for a while.

    Meanwhile, on my laptop, I switched from Manjaro to Fedora KDE spin after some stability problems, and was so pleasantly surprised by how it was both solid and up-to-date, that I ended up moving everything to that.

    Edit: biggest problem I had was when I tried to install Mint on an office PC that I built for myself. Mint didn't support the on-board ethernet so I had no way of getting it online, and after getting lost in forum posts, gave up.

  • mainly it was because I was trying it from my linux desktop, and if you try to download a large collection of files from the onedrive web interface it's 50/50 if it fails half-way through

  • It mostly has to do with formatting things: sometimes I'll go to a conference, and they want the slides put on their computer, and powerpoint might display differently than on my Linux laptop, or collaborating on Word documents, where formatting can be somewhat fragile. In the past few conferences though, I got by fine with my laptop, making a PDF of the slides as a backup... So I was confident that things will turn out okay before I pulled the plug.

  • I use Fedora KDE now on all my machines, and finally haven't distro-hopped in over a year. Love this distro. It's great that they'll give it a higher placement. Nothing against Gnome, just that since Plasma 6, I feel like my computers just work like I want them to, consistently.
