I never switched, I use Linux for privacy and security. I have since, 2001 or so, I guess. Open source means lots of eyeballs on the code, and I trust those open source developers a lot more than I trust a corporation.

Still game on windows. Accepted win 11 but, yeah

Open source means lots of eyeballs on the code,

It can mean that, but it's not necessarily true...
