I’m curious—what’s been your best interaction with Linux? Whether it’s a specific distro, a killer feature, or just a moment when Linux impressed you, I’d love to hear your stories!

Which Linux distro were you using?

What feature or aspect made the experience stand out?

Did it change the way you use Linux or tech in general?

Looking forward to your responses!

Hi, @sohrabbehdani@lemmy.world !

I have a long history with Linux, mainly doing stuff for other people on their Ubuntu machines and having a MacOS laptop myself. I have been into FOSS for a couple of years now and decided to go Linux earlier this year. I got an old PC from work that was gathering dust in the warehouse, and was mainly looking for an everyday distro that was flexible enough to support the applications I'm already using. I've been using Debian + KDE for a month now and love it. Before that, I used openSUSE + KDE for about two months, but the amount of weird misbehaviour and inability to install packages/things I needed/wanted got to me, and after copying all my files to an external drive, I installed Debian with KDE. The combination of the functionality and aesthetics of KDE combined with the stability and abundance of packages for Debian works great for me. I'm constantly tweaking things, exploring the possibilities, learning keyboard shortcuts, installing new applications, and generally feeling like I finally have a computer (I know it sounds silly), like I did when I was a teenager 😆.
