Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

Bazzite gets thrown around a lot as a beginner distro nowadays, haven’t tried it myself. Its immutable quality sounded to me like it was designed to be hard for beginners to break, so I guess you should give yourself an award for that.

Hope it keeps going well, you'll naturally get it as you use it and deal with the odd curveball.

That's really the gist of it. For the 96% who just need a working computer and aren't messing with system files, immutable is perfect. You really can't break it unless you try.
