@itsfoss My suggestion is to first try out (cross platform) open source apps first before looking for a Linux distro. Check out what there is to offer and explore the community. If it goes well, then the actual migration to Linux will be much easier.

@itsfoss I like how Linux Mint team is handling their migration to Wayland.
We still have to get our work done, so it makes total sense to make it optional but still easy to try out and kick the tires.

@itsfoss Linux Mint - because it gets out of my way and lets me focus on my workflow. Elegant, clean, and stable. The glue that brings Darktable, QGIS, Jellyfin, Joplin, etc together for the party.

Happily migrated to #LinuxMint in early 2023, and #GrapheneOS in early 2024. Together, they have certainly improved my relationship with technology. I'm very much a proponent of #opensource software.Use #QGIS for my geospatial research (#NiagaraEscarpment, old #NorthPacificCoastRailway, #RunningFence project, and #VancouverIsland). Listen to my music with #Jellyfin, and process my NEF image files in #darktable.
