I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

    I had been using Linux in virtual machines off and on for various reasons (often just exploring) for years. It wasn’t until I bought a Chromebook that I really got to digging deeper into Linux. Before Linux and Android apps on Chromebooks there was Crouton to run a full desktop chroot. I had to learn and use Linux a lot more to get the most out of this. Eventually I would install Linux on any / all secondary machines that I had since it performs so well on low resources. Flash forward to today and my favorite desktop operating systems are ChromeOS and EndeavourOS. I still use Windows 11, MacOS and Manjaro as well. There are pros and cons to all of these OSes. I just prefer ChromeOS and EOS with KDE because they are the easiest for me to get up and running ASAP on.

      Damn, it seems like you have used/are using everything under the sun. I am scared to ask how many machines do you got or is it just a lot of dual booting/VMs.

        I currently have 4 laptops and 1 desktop with me in Europe and still have one older laptop and 2 semi new desktops in the USA. The desktops are Ryzen 5700G Win11 with Ryzen 5900X Win10 and Ryzen 2600 Manjaro in USA. The laptops are M1 Mac13, m3 6y30 EOS, m3 8100y CrOS, Kompanio 1200 CrOS and i5 5200u Win10 in USA.

        I wish I could say there was some reason for all this but it’s just an unhealthy interest.
