--- How long have I been using Linux? ---
I've been using Linux off and on since 2008. I permanently switched to Linux in 2024.
--- What version of Linux? ---
6.14. But no, seriously. The distribution I use is either arch or Fedora. I prefer more bleeding edge distros, or distros that update more frequently than Debian or ubuntu. I am not averse to using Debian however, as I really liked the apt package manager and deb packages.
--- KDE or GNOME? ---
Neither. XFCE.
--- What is XFCE? ---
It's like Windows 2000 to a degree. It's lightweight in comparison to GNOME and KDE.
--- Is 2025 the Year of Linux? ---
Really depends on the backlash over Windows 10's End of Life in October 2025. A lot of people aren't liking Recall and other features related to Windows 11, so we might see more Linux users, but I don't see it going too high in market share.
--- Why do I use Linux? ---
It's Free. It's Open Source (usually.) It's regularly updated, and a lot of big companies have even poured resources into development of Linux and its software, including Microsoft. I love the large amount of customization and extensible nature of Linux distros. I too also don't really play the games that only work on Windows, I'm not really a competitive person, you see.
--- Do I think a person who's never used it as a Daily Driver get into it? ---
It really depends on what you plan to do, work with, and more. If you're primarily an Adobe person, I would recommend looking into alternatives. There are a few resources on github and even YouTube that explicitly deal with people who have switched off of Adobe. Actually one thing I'd like to mention. There was a recent gacha game that came out, I don't know if you've heard of it, Zenless Zone Zero? I installed it via Lutris on day one of its release, and it worked perfectly out of the box with the latest wine or proton.
--- Do I Dual-Boot? ---
No. I also don't plan to use Virtual Machines.
