Hey everyone,

I am exploring switching over to Linux but I would like to know why people switch. I have Windows 11 rn.

I dont do much code but will be doing some for school. I work remote and go to school remote. My career is not TOO technical.

What benefits caused you to switch over and what surprised you when you made the switch?

Thank you all in advanced.

    Well, it wasn’t the best choice on laptop that is already quite old and underpowered. I didn’t know back then, but there are lightweight Linux distros that would have served me better.

    The laptop only had 4GB of RAM. I forgot about its processor, but it was decent for 2007. Even then, it was able to run, without much trouble, so long as you don’t do much. Watch the CPU and memory usage and it’s mostly ok.
