I was a hardcore Windows user until I installed Ubuntu as a recovery system in case something goes wrong with Windows. However after trying it and seeing how smooth, customizable and powerful it was, I fell in love with it. Since then I made Ubuntu my main system. However, later on I switched to elementaryOS for its unique and minimalist design approach and the fact that it generally "just works" and fades into the background when I'm doing something. (I know many Linux users prefer a more customizable system, but I just want something pleasant that helps me stay on top of my work). Now I'm considering switching to Fedora, especially with the release of Fedora 34 with GNOME 40, and how stable and original it feels unlike Ubuntu, and how it is much more supported unlike elementaryOS.

I generally use Linux for everything, from basic web browsing, to coding apps and trying cool new stuff.
