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

    Used to do pop, currently manjaro, liked it a lot and might go for straight arch in the future.

    A few nitpicks here and there, since I do gaming and general internet browsing, it’s a hit or miss situation, but usually solving a problem means it won’t be a headache in the future, unlike with windows. In general it’s just tradeoffs, you get to brush off really stupid issues that pop up on windows for no good reason, but then compatibility (which afaik is actively worsened on purpose) becomes an issue with multiple elements that have to be circumvented individually, like the drm chip on my xbox controller or browser hardware acceleration.

    My main reason is that I hate windows, but I’m progressively liking the concept of not being owned by the companies that make my software more and more.
