I’m on 12, and will be upgrading to 13 when Trixie hits stable.

Gonna have to.

I don't mind it, just using w10 for simplicity's sake.

I've been on 11 since before it was officially released. Honestly never had any issues with it, but I'm interested in hearing what sort of issues anyone else might have had? Are we talking about privacy concerns, bugs or performance issues?

Got a new laptop about a month ago. Put Fedora Bluefin on it immediately. Couple other computers/server have been running Debian flavors for year or two.

My main desktop is still Windows, but I literally never use it, especially since getting the laptop. I'll switch it over when I get time.

I'm still tied to windows for three apps. I've found a Linux replacement for one, I just haven't done the work to convert the database.

Another one I'm trying to run it's Android version in a waydroid docker, but I'm hitting walls, no time to dig deeper.

And the last one has no replacement, and it's too delicate to try emulating, I don't want to nuke the shared database it's attached to, it's not worth the headache. So I keep a Windows VM around for the once a month I need to use that program for 🤷‍♂️

I'm purposely being vague about the programs, they are very identifying, but trust me there's no alternatives.

Even with all that, I'm not looking back, win11 sucks.

No, I use windows 11 and it works great.

I've enjoyed Linux since Windows MEllennium Edition convinced me that I didn't like paying a lot, in money and time, to be an unpaid product testing guinea pig. A work friend put Windows 2000 on that laptop when ME went bad. I used it until a got a blue screen of death one day, and switched to Linux. The 1st was a $230 ePC that could be had with Windows XP or XanderOS (a flavor of Linux). I chose the latter, and had a great time of it. I've since used Mint and Ubuntu.
