I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

    In 2007 I tried Ubuntu and it was weird, then again in 2008, no! In 2009 I found Mint and was really happy, until they stopped supporting KDE. Then I tried a ton of distros, Xfce, no. Lxde, no. open suse, no. fedora, no, lots of others, no. I finally found Kubuntu and I have been on it ever since. Even tested Neon lately but hated it.
    Kubuntu does what I want it to do.
    Linux always seems scary at first, but once you learn enough, it’s super easy.

      Yeah, did you find mint easy to use? I’m in Ubuntu and thinking about switching. I just worry about driver support, cause everything works on Ubuntu for me. I try and apt get everything I can TBH.

        I really liked Mint at the time, but only the KDE version, and would never have left if they hadn’t stopped supporting it. They had great nVidia support. I no longer have nVidia on any of my computers because it’s just annoying to fight with that mess.
        Plus Linux as a whole has better driver support than it used to.
