What Linux distro do you use? What do you use it for? What is your experience with it? Why did you switch to Linux?

Tbh lemmy is already oversaturated with linux content. I use Zorin OS, and before that I was using Mint for a very long time, then tried out Pop OS!. It’s my computer, so I use it whatever I want for. Zorin looks very good, is very stable (because kernel and software are not the bleeding edge). I switched to Linux because I was unable to install Windows on my brand new PC (some kind of error, I don’t remember anymore).

Kubuntu on my main while I set up my Proxmox VE home lab. Plasma is superbly customisable, but there’s something about Gnome that’s so pleasing to the eyes that makes me look up ways to make Gnome work for me.

I have decided that xRDP is how I want to access my VMs (the only protocol that I’m able to reliably get multi display to work without additional configurations), so that’s my bare minimum requirement for now. The test Debian VM I had straight up would not install the xRDP Easy Install script.

Switched to Linux (on my spare laptop) because that’s what the programming tutorial I was following at that time recommended (though I’ve had experience with Ubuntu on and off before this). Such a delightful experience setting up programming stuff on Linux compared to Windows (I know WSL exists, but I like to keep my environments separate). Now my Linux spare laptop is my main PC, while I’ve barely turned on my “main” Windows laptop lately. Helps that my entertainment is mainly YouTube and not much gaming, though I played a few steam games on it before with a few quirks.

I went with kubuntu. Mostly used for internet surfing and media viewing. Has been considering to switch to open suse. Doesn’t want to pay nor subscribe to anything for such usage.
