Think people who got on lemmy originally lean techy (and thus more likely to use linux and be passionate about it), and people who joined after the IPO thing have more diverse reasons for abandoning reddit.

Yeah, linux can be almost anything you want it to be. It’ll run faster and look and feel just the same as windows, if not better. The only bad thing, and I say this as someone who’s still on windows and will switch soon^tm, is that there’s a lot of work that comes with that.

A friend of mine who’s all about linux is always fixing something about his installation. Though from what I know, he’s using Arch, which apparently is less stable/needs more work to get going (something about bleeding edge).

Only reason why I haven’t changed yet is because of VR and adobe programs. As soon as VR is a bit more seamless and I get replacements for adobe I’m off of windows.
