     @itsfoss I hated how much telemetry was in Windows (10 at the time, 11 is even worse), and I wanted something that better respects our privacy while being lighter on resources. Used linux now on and off for 7 years. Just switched my gaming PC back to linux. On Void now and I love it.

     @itsfoss I was running Minix and Coherent then I heard about this new, free OS that ran on 386. I found somebody on campus that was writing the stack of floppies to install Linux. I ran the machine mostly for my email and soon found that I could run an SMB server on it and then I was hooked.

     @itsfoss during the first year in college, I needed a computer. A friend of mine suggested using Linux, something I've never Heard of before back then. That was in 2000. Now, I'm using Linux since then and also introduced my oldest to Debian.

     @itsfoss It was years ago (00s) when I receives a Live CD along with a Ukrainian PC magazine; I believe it was Ubuntu on it.

     @itsfoss LTT and The Linux Experiment made me try it. Now I've been using Linux for a year and I'm never going back to Windows.

     @itsfoss Finding an operating system that didn't waste resources on the ever increasing amount of non-removable bloatware and sending reams of personal user data across the internet to personalise my experience. Those are two things I lost control over. Linux has given me that control back.
