Glad to be part of the trend. Literally just yesterday, I got rid of Windows and installed Pop OS instead.

Nice! I ran Pop OS on my laptop for over a year to get the hang of things before I decided to fully commit. I've been running Pop OS on desktop for about 2 months or so with minimum problems, transitioning to GIMP from Photoshop has been harder for me than switching to Linux. Eager to learn though.

Same, but Affinity Photo instead of Photoshop.

What took you so long?!

Seriously tho it's always good to see people switch over

I've often dabbled in Linux, mostly dual-booting, but now I'm fully committing. I mostly kept with Windows because Affinity Designer and Photo don't work on Linux, and having quality graphic design software is important to what I do. It just got to the point with Microsoft endlessly advertising to me, changing my defaults, trying to force me to use Edge, and forcing updates that I had enough and even having access to quality graphic design software wasn't enough for me to stay.
