*facepalm*

Looks like it's open! It also looks like you get one shot at answering it, so don't go clicking willy-nilly.

Put my vote in

No "Because I like to customize an OS to fit my twisted tastes". :(

So, "shady deeds" it is then.

I wonder if it'll be one vote for each option 😂

"End of Windows 7 support"

Quoting: furaxhornyx"End of Windows 7 support"

Hah, that is a good reason. Too bad I see no way to edit the poll.

Missing option "Flexibility of the system, that makes my workflow much quicker after a bit of tinkering!"

i guess "It works better for what I use a computer for" is close enough, so i voted this


edit: Btw switched to linux in 2007, never looked back. With windows i never felt like im in control of my OS, was the main reason.

I experimented with Linux since the mid 90s and used it as a server for a long time when I was in university. On my desktop I used Win95, which I made work very well for me. Then came win98 and I wasn't happy so skipped it. During the wait for XP I used Win2k for a bit and when XP came I find it going in a direction I wasn't happy with and again skipped it. After graduation from uni in early 2002, I switched everything around. Put my Linux partition as the primary booting one (and switched out my qwerty keyboard for Dvorak). Never looked back.

So basically, Windows just stopped being what I was looking for in a desktop and by 2002 Gnome had caught up far enough to serve as the main desktop.
