    I’ve been occasionally giving Linux a shot since bubuntu 5.04 and it would never stick. I guess many things aligned at some point in 2017-18 when I just gave up on windows and microsoft in general. I’ve been sticking to my beloved gnome, fighting it to do things it wasn’t built to.

    And then came 2019 and sway 1.0 got released. It felt like reddit imploded. Decided to finally give this “tiling nonsense” a try. A week or so later it finally clicked and I’ve not been fighting my system anymore.

    Fast forward a few years and I’m now a Gentoo, OpenRC, OpenRC-init and Hyprland nutter :)

      I am also an on/off Linux user since Debian. Windows 10 has been fine for me and I would live here forever in the blissful ignorance of OS apathy but when support for it stops in 2025 and I am force marched into the Windows 11 I may jump ship and run off into the wilds of Linux again.
