"Windows refugees" haha. Getting people to come linux side is quite hard. I drifted to linux 2years ago when I started coding. Ubuntu then debian with gnome. Now on buster feeling quite at home.

I drifted to Linux in much the same way. Started coding, discovered how natural linux feels for development. I started on ubuntu, and somehow managed to bump into Arch. Got tired of issues with a regular Arch installation and decided to try Manjaro. Chose the KDE, and honestly its so natural to use. For a time I was dual booting it and Win10, until I realized I spent next to no time on Windows. Wine is fantastic nowadays, much better than my first attempt to get into linux, and gaming on linux is beyond amazing. I have absolutely no plans to go back to Windows, Manjaro KDE feels better than home. The only thing that is slightly inhibiting is the lack of an easy way to manage keybindings and such to extra keyboard/mouse keys. Nothing that cant be solved, though! Slowly learning how to use Linux as efficiently as I knew on Windows, and discovering that its so much more convenient
