Yeah same here I didn’t even bother with that. Just backed up some files and windows went bye bye. Even any issues I’ve had have so much support available that it’s not anywhere near as intimidating as I was making it out to be prior to switching.

Apart from some minor hardware driver issues, so far so good!

I switched over about… I suppose 2 and a half years ago now? Honestly it’s been a lot easier to use. Like it’s kind of shocking to me that people will act like windows is cohesive and better put together. Every time I interact with it these days, the more it looks like a taped together ball of junk crusted over with 30 years of repainting.
Like the fact that I have to go to three separate settings programs to find the right toggle, that every program has a dedicated installer and its own path for updates. That there are just default always on programs running in the background eating up a 1/4 of the ram and two of my CPU cores for no damn reason. That a laptop will randomly turn inside a bag when it should be asleep and run down its battery over 6 hours of trying to connect to an absent WiFi network to run updates.
