I switched myself to Arch about 4 years ago now, with Sway. So fucking amazing. Everything is at my fingertips. Config files are easy to understand. AUR is a massive productivity boost.

As I got more comfortable with Linux, I decided to change things up even at the office. I switched to RHEL on my work PC. Consequently, moved from Matlab to Python. I even got my girlfriend to switch to Linux Mint and Graphene OS. The other day, she said it was joyous to be able to hit the start menu, type "Print" and have "Printer" show up. No drama. She has also discovered a love for the command line, being able to type "pdfunite blah blah" and have her PDFs combined into one etc.

Linux in 2025 is world-class, I have zero regrets.
