I have an older pc that I use as a a Plex server so as soon as I get some time I will fully switch to Ubuntu.
Linux
Been on it for years
Installed kubuntu on the laptop so I can get used to it. Still trying to find a AV and firewall app I like

Jumping to Linux just picking a distro
No, I use windows 11 and it works great.
lol
I use Opensuse MicroOS on half a dozen PCs but I keep one on Windows until I can run Fortnite on Linux.
Jumped to linux with a new laptop, but not gaming on it. It's fine for what I need. My old machine will be for gaming only.
My old as hell PC died I'm getting a steam deck as a replacement with a dock and ...so I'll just be dual booting into windows 11 and obviously steam OS when I decide to play hand held.
I'm going to move over to Mint on my laptop, it's older but still working great after I swapped an SSD drive in. Biggest issue is backing up the laptop before installing Linux. I have another computer I plan on duel boot with Windows 10 so I have access if I need windows for certain programs. I have no control over my work computer so Windows 11 there.
And unless one of my brothers steps up and buys our Dad a Windows 11 computer (I bought the Windows 10 computer, which is why it was so cheap it can't take 11. 😆 ) since I'm his tech support if my brothers don't step up he is going to Linux. No matter what I'm going to have to listen to him complain about how it is different so it will be a good time to move to Linux. Probably a version that tries to mimic Windows.
I switched to Linux mate and been using heroic games launcher for the windows games I want to play
Gonna have to.
I don't mind it, just using w10 for simplicity's sake.
