I switched to Linux in December, and it was a remarkable feeling. I don’t think I had really noticed how oppressive or depressive Windows had become (and I hadn’t even switched to Win 11, just using win 10), or how much I was actually personally affected by, but that feeling of suddenly being free when I booted up my linux was quite surprising and exhilarating.

It was like a massive weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.

Bazzite or CachyOS (Bazzite for ease, CachyOS for performance).

Switched to CachyOS in December, so I guess I’m part of that statistic.

I was also part of the December Steam Hardware Survey statistic, but that was before I switched. So the December survey has an artificially inflated Windows statistic by at least 1 user.
