Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

My computer was crashing constantly, never figured out what it was but I switched over to Linux Mint to see if it was something to do with the software and hardware having an issue since I couldn't find a hardware only issue.

I liked the environment but was still having crashes. So I upgraded MoBo, GPU, CPU, RAM, PSU, HDD and installed Mint again. It didn't work out because Mint didn't have driver support for my newer GPU so I changed over to Nobara and it is very good.

Sounds like a Personal Computer of Theseus. Nobara is great, it's a one person project dedicated towards making gaming and streaming easy.
