I installed Liftoff based on your comment (I’m also coming from RIF) and I’m really impressed with it. Fast, intuitive, configurable, and a really attractive interface. Thanks for the recommendation.

I started with Ubuntu, then to Manjaro, and now using Endeavour. I like the rolling release systems for faster updates and better gaming.

I’ve dabbled in Linux for decades, but fully switched to Linux as my daily driver about 5 years ago. I still have a Windows partition set up for dual boot, but only boot into it once every couple months now to run very specific software. I can honestly say I miss nothing about Windows. Linux has matured leaps and bounds even in the past 5 years. Gaming, productivity, programming, hobby. It can do it all. I will admit there is still a technical barrier to entry. You will need to get used to the command line and searching the web frequently for how to do something. But if you have those skills I don’t think it’s a contest anymore. Linux is the better OS.

I second this. My handwriting skills have atrophied after so many years of typing. I can’t read my own notes half the time (I keep a notepad handy at work) and filling out a greeting card is an exercise in frustration. Just give me a keyboard.

This is a major pet peeve of mine. Constant growth is unsustainable and the pursuit of it ruins so many things.

This would be a seriously once in a lifetime experience that I hope I live long enough to see. And after the initial fireworks it will form a supernova remnant that will be visible for hundreds of thousands of of years.
