Fed up with Microsoft. I had a windows 10 computer they said couldn't update to windows 11, and they said Recall was coming, so I said fuck it. Switched to mint, and now I'm trying pop!_os.

Way back like 10+ years ago I ran Ubuntu for a while, but I play a lot of video games and support was lacking. Wine, proton, and other tools have come a long way since then.
