why i switched from windows to linux

So, I've been a Windows user for as long as I can remember, probably since the days of Windows 95. But recently, I decided to take the plunge and switch to Linux. I know, I know, it sounds a bit daunting, but hear me out. A friend of mine who's a total Linux enthusiast convinced me to give it a shot. I was a bit hesitant at first because, let's face it, change is scary. But after a few weeks of using it, I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed. There are a few reasons why I'm loving it. First off, it's super customizable. I love being able to tweak everything to suit my needs. Plus, it's free! Not to mention, my old laptop runs so much smoother now. Sure, there was a bit of a learning curve, and I did screw up a couple of things initially, but with all the helpful communities out there, it's been a great experience. Anyone else made the switch? Would love to hear about your experiences or any tips you might have for a newbie like me! 😊
