Microsoft did this to me.

If OneDrive didn't hijack your filesystem, I would have dealt with auto-open edge links.

I tasted Fedora and... Oh my God Windows sucks. Like its awful in seemingly every way compared to Fedora Cinnamon. The UI/the speed/the experience is breathtaking.

Fedora Cinnamon is so good, I've become outspokenly anti-Debian/Ubuntu for giving Linux a bad name. I'm amazed that an operating system this solid has been existing under my nose.

I'm curious what about Fedora specifically makes the difference for you? I started using Cinnamon with Mint (derived from Ubuntu, Debian) last year and also found it a big improvement from Windows.

I'm willing to bet its more about the "Fedora" than the "Cinnamon". I was an Arch user for about 15 years with a few attempts in between to try other distros (including Fedora), but recently I've been installing Fedora on my machines because the last two versions have been really good. Its very competent, software availability has improved, they take security much more seriously than any other (normal) distro and they are always on top of the latest features and upcoming "tech" on the linux world.

Also curious to know this! I've been using Mint & Cinnamon for about 10 years and haven't bothered looking at an alternative.

Fedora is like 6 months+ ahead of Ubuntu on updates to most packages. Often with Ubuntu you get to deal with bugs that were fixed a year ago upstream.
