    Hot take (?): For anyone who has made the switch, it was the year or the Linux desktop. 🤷‍♂️

        Same 🙂 Around 2004 ish I started experimenting with live CDs of some KDE distro. I managed to also corrupt one of my hard drives doing so. Not a fun day I remember. But I learned some valuables that day, for sure.

      Mine will be this year, I only have 1 system left to put Linux on.

      I’m just currently learning some RAW photo editors before I cancel my Lightroom sub.

      Fusion360 was dropped a few months ago when FreeCAD went 1.0 (after I learned it enough of course)

      2017 for me!

      (I had been using Linux on some systems since 2002 and first tried it in the late '90s, but 2017 was the year in which I ditched Windows even on my gaming machine, permanently.)

      I remember it so clearly. “Ooh, multiple desktops. It’ll take forever until Windows gets this.” (It was 1996. Newbies should try messing with fvwm. Now that was configurable.)
