I Didn't Go Back to Windows After 6 Months on Linux Mint 22... Here's Why

[QueerDuck]

This fellow's experiences and the path he followed closely mirror mine. I enjoyed this video and thought that I'd share it with you all.

After six months of using Linux Mint as my only operating system…
I expected to go back to Windows at some point.

But I didn’t.

And that decision wasn’t based on hype, frustration, or bias — it came from real, everyday use.

In this video, I’m not just talking about switching anymore.
I’m talking about staying.

What actually makes Linux Mint good enough to replace Windows in the long run?
What changes in your workflow when Linux becomes normal?
And more importantly… what stops you from going back?

This is a follow-up to my original Linux-only challenge, but this time the perspective is different.
Less experimenting. More clarity.

I’ll break down what Linux does better than Windows after long-term use, what still feels like a compromise, how stability holds up over time, and whether Windows still has a place for me anymore.

If you’re on the edge about switching — or wondering if Linux is just a phase — this will give you a grounded answer.

No hype. Just experience.
