What Linux distro do you use? What do you use it for? What is your experience with it? Why did you switch to Linux?

Kubuntu on my main while I set up my Proxmox VE home lab. Plasma is superbly customisable, but there's something about Gnome that's so pleasing to the eyes that makes me look up ways to make Gnome work for me.

I have decided that xRDP is how I want to access my VMs (the only protocol that I'm able to reliably get multi display to work without additional configurations), so that's my bare minimum requirement for now. The test Debian VM I had straight up would not install the xRDP Easy Install script.

Switched to Linux (on my spare laptop) because that's what the programming tutorial I was following at that time recommended (though I've had experience with Ubuntu on and off before this). Such a delightful experience setting up programming stuff on Linux compared to Windows (I know WSL exists, but I like to keep my environments separate). Now my Linux spare laptop is my main PC, while I've barely turned on my "main" Windows laptop lately. Helps that my entertainment is mainly YouTube and not much gaming, though I played a few steam games on it before with a few quirks.

Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
