With the coming end of support of #Windows10 I would like to hear from people who recently (say < 3 years ago) moved from Windows (or MacOS) to Linux:
.1. which Linux distribution did you settle on?
.2. which are the main problems that you had "transitioning"?
.3. are you planning to keep using Linux for now?
.4. What are you missing in Linux that you had with your former OS?
.5. If you tried but did not keep using it - why?

#windows10endofsupport #Linux #ChoiceOfOS #ComputerStuff #MacOS #Windows

And here's a related poll:
Have you recently moved to Linux from a different OS? ⬇️

11% Yes, I moved to Linux in the last few months
24% Yes, I moved to Linux in the last few years
54% I moved to Linux but a long time ago
9% I tried Linux but did not keep using it
3% I never used Linux

@elduvelle
1 - Mint
2 - Nothing major - the thing that took the most time was converting Putty registry entries to ~/.ssh/config format.
3 - Yes.
4 - The apps 'Fineprint' and 'PDFfactory' and the ability to annotate screen captures without saving the image and then editing it in another app.
5 - n/a

(I've used Linux (CentOS and now Debian) exclusively on servers for 20+ years)

@elduvelle Just thought - I do still have one Windows VM that runs BlueIris. I'd happily get rid of this if I could find a Linux CCTV app (paid or free) that's as good.
