"Linux is great ha ha you just have to know which one you want and they are all vague and technical ha ha if there's a problem just program a solution yourself you know programming ha ha we're not a cult I swear anyway I told my grandma she's a piece of shit because she didn't want to switch to Linux even though she doesn't own a computer I only yelled at her for five hours straight about it"

Though for real I might actually try it out, I like open source stuff and my friend said it's not hard.

It's not that bad. My programming experience is Matlab and a bit of python, so not much. My command line experience was almost non-existent before switching, and tbh still isn't that good.

I haven't fully switched yet, I've dabbled in Linux a few times over the last ten years, starting to fully switch now. Have one old PC running a Debian based server OS and a bunch of free self hosted services. Personal laptop is now Debian. Work laptop stuck on windows. Desktop is still windows for gaming, but I'll probably even change that soon. I'm still in a bit of a distro hopping phase to figure out what I like before switching the desktop.

Yeah, if you're interested, you should give it a shot.
