Why I Switched from Windows to Linux 🚀

I switched from Windows to Linux 4 years ago, and it completely changed the way I think about computers. In this video, I share my personal story of leaving Windows behind, discovering Linux, and how that decision reshaped my relationship with technology.

From my early days playing games on MS-DOS and Windows 95 to growing frustrated with the direction Microsoft has taken with Windows 11, I realized it was time for a change. What started as curiosity turned into a complete transformation of how I use and understand computers.

In this video, I explain why I moved away from Windows, what it was like to switch to Linux for the first time, and how open-source software reignited my passion for computing. I also reflect on what I learned through experimenting with distributions like Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux, and how Linux made me a better and more mindful computer user.

If you’ve ever thought about switching to Linux or wondered whether it’s worth it, this is my honest experience and why I don’t plan on going back.
